    Depends where you are. Imagine losing 2 hours a day in traffic + buying lunches cause never room in fridge. I knew multiple coworkers that got hotels to stay in and took train back home for weekends because it was cheaper than living close to work or didn’t want to uproot family.
    Savings in those cases well outweighs 20%.

      But the inconvenience of all that shit sounds horrible and unnecessary and expensive too. Fuck commuting in traffic spewing CO2 to line some asshole’s pocket who doesn’t want me to have a normal standard of living.
