One thing is for sure, I am tired. I am fortunate enough to not have to pay any rent while I am in D.C. because I live with my wife's cousin and his family. Unfortunately though, I have to commute 90 minutes to work and from work each day. This totals my time out of the home to 13 hours and only leaves a couple hours to relax at home before I need to go to bed.
What baffles me is the fact that this is the daily routine of thousands of people each day. According to the family that I live with, these commuters plan their entire lives around their work which causes depression and burn out. There is no way that I would live like this long term. If I was to work in D.C. full time, I would consider living north of D.C. which only requires a 30 minute commute.
Hey Ryan, that's unfortunate to hear about the long commute. It can definitely be brutal here, especially now that it's getting so cold! My commute is about 30 minutes and even that can be rough. If I ever come back I plan on bringing my car for certain! Regardless, it's great that you have a place to stay rent-free especially considering how expensive it is to live in or around DC.
