3 mins if I time all the lights right 5 mins if I hit any lights. It is like 1.5 miles. It literally takes me longer to walk across parking lot and to my desk then it does for me to drive there.

Around 1 hour one way, around 56 miles. I do get compensated half time for my commute and I have a small car that gets good gas mileage. No way I'd live in the city and most of the people I work with have a 30+ min one way commute also.

100% telecommute. No drive. Just roll out of bed and shuffle to my office.  ;)

Before I retired it was 105 miles each way. I had to wake up 3:30AM in the morning to get to work at 6AM. No direct highway route. You do what you have to make it in life.

I was paid over 105K my last 8 years.  5 week vacation and health care. They gave me a Durango and paid for the gas.

That's not my idea of "making it" but if it works/ed for you more power to you.

In California there are quite a few people (thousands really) who commute between Los Angeles and San Francisco; that is about 400 miles.  If you fly that route regularly during the week (mornings and evenings) on the same airline you run into each other all the time.  A similar dynamic exists between Washington DC and New York City (or NY and Boston).  The people who do this commuting tend to have a well paying job in one city and family in the other city; family that they do not want to move for one reason or another.  For some people, this is a strain and it can pull a relationship apart.  For others the set up works just fine.  

I think few of these travelers would admit it but many of them specifically like having the time away from their family (what they do with that time I won’t speculate on).  Those who like this set up often have a small apartment in their “work city” and a house in their “home city.”  Some commute five days a week, while others remain in their work city during the week and fly home on Friday afternoons.

Bottom line: things don’t just happen to you.  We all make choices.

Never said I was anything but middle class. It's obvious your job  gives you a better deal. I retired at 52.

This is why I drive a vehicle via my contractor.  My personal car got fucked driving like this for 20 months straight.

My job moves a lot of guys all over the state. That was my last year that I worked for them that was 105 miles. It's not worth selling a house for that length of time. Prior to that it was a lot closer.
