I drive an hour one way to work and have done it for 20+ years. If you plan for it, it’s fine. I get to live in a cost effective area ($800/mo mortgage for a 4 bedroom) and make a decent salary so my spouse doesn’t need to work. I also work somewhere that typically closes when the weather is bad and can work remotely 2 days a week. If I wanted to live closer to work, I wouldn’t be able to live in the town I work in and I wouldn’t make the salary I do now in my current town. It’s all about compromise.
