minus-squarefloofloof@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·15 hours agoSome can perhaps afford to give up 20% of their salary. Good for them. Many of us don’t have that wiggle room.
minus-squarePyr_Pressure@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-29 hours agoFor me giving up the commute would basically pay my 20% that I forgo. My gas bill is like $400 a month and 90% of that is for my work commute.
