When I was working I averaged 60k a year. 95% in eastern NC.

I guess my commute to work was walking out the back door to the company vehicle.

Well usually I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to make some coffee. Might go back to bed or watch the morning news.

Same here in Northern Michigan. The longest drive I have to make would be 25 minutes shorter if I didn't have to drive around Lake Charlevoix ( or any number of other lakes in the area) to get there.

I used to have a 2 hour commute each way. I hated it, in part because most of it was on the crowded, disgusting, expensive and always delayed san Francisco train system.

I took a huge pay cut to start my own practice 7 miles from my house, but I left California and moved to Montana, where my office is in my reloading room downstairs. Best move I've ever made.

12 miles/20 minutes.
It's a good decompression period on the way home.

42 miles, but about 41.5 is 4 lane highway. Nice way to get quiet time before getting home to 5 kids.
