When I was young and dumb I took a job with a 70-75 minute commute. I made it maybe a few months before I just couldn't do it anymore. I was motivated by money and I hate to say that once I got some, I bailed.

These days my commute is 40 minutes which is fine because I don't even consider jobs over 45 minutes away. Wish it was shorter but 🤷‍♀️

For a handful of years I lived kinda remote and the commute to just the grocery store was 45, and thankfully my job was too in the same little podunk town. It was there that cemented 45 as my limit
