Reply to I make 42k and I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. I signed a 60k offer onsite 23 miles there and back 45 min, 45 min back. Does this make any sense? by RemarkableCell1859

To really answer the $$$ question the OP would need to determine the vehicle costs of the commute.

23 miles X 2 ways X number of days per week X 50 weeks. Then divide the total “work” miles by the mpg that the car gets.

Then add in a few extra oil changes and then about 33% of the cost of a new set of tires per year.

Then you’ll REALLY know if that commute actually makes financial sense.

Lastly, you’d need to factor in the additional 1-1/2 per day you’d be driving.

Pretty sure the sharks migrate to water that’s near 70f or warmer. So by the time the water is that warm, the seals are long gone north.

I hope….

OP: there’s a great organization https://www.canalsocietynj.org/

They do historical educational canal walks, hold monthly meetings with interesting presentations, maintain a boatload of historical canal information and they also work very hard to keep a museum at Waterloo Village alive.

Consider joining or attending some of these events. All are welcome.
