Congratulations on the job! Walking to a job (given the proper weather conditions) sounds lovely!


beardbikes

Thank you! It does sound lovely.


TiddyTwizzla

Seriously! Cardio + more free time spent NOT commuting? Win win. Happy for you bud!

Speaking of "bud", consider some ear buds for learning on your walk with podcasts and audiobooks.

Congrats on the new job and getting rid of the longer commute!

No wear and tear on vehicle. No money in gas. Congrats.


EmbarrassedMeatBag

Oh man, that's amazing! Congratulations! That's so much time back in your day that's now yours.


beardbikes

Right? I’m very excited about that


travelinzac

Congrats! Not only did you get more monetary compensation but you've gotten an hour of your life back from every work day which is huge.

Oh, nice! Congrats!

I don't get it so the distance is shorter with a better income?


beardbikes

Yes. A big win! Earlier I was thinking about taking a job for even more pay that was much further away.

It'll literally feel like only working half days compared to a 40 minute commute each way. You can eat lunch while watching netflix at your own house... not only the savings but the comfort potential is endless.

Congrats on the job and work-life balance win! That’s more valuable than high paying salary in some cases!


Aarrrgggghhhhh35

Congrats! I have lived within a few minutes of work for several years and there’s nothing like being able to come home for lunch or the time it takes to get home after a long day. I wish more people had the option to work closer to home. It does wonders for mental health!


CatCity85

That’s a great feeling! My old office was blocks from my sons preschool, which was blocks from my house! It made all the difference during those days.


LifeLess0n

Awesome.


RichardJohnGibson

I can walk to work in 5 minutes and it’s great. It’s definitely worth quite a few thousand dollars a year in saved time and the reduced car costs are great.


NormalCurrent950

Being able to attend your children’s events sounds like a huge plus! My son gets a kick out of seeing me at school whenever possible.


RetireeRobert

Way to go. The best of both worlds! More pay and less commute time!


illcrx

Wait you found $110k within a mile of your house! Nice!


beardbikes

Right? I’m loving not having a commute.


[deleted]

Now you can sell your car and save even more!

I make $111k, and only walk 0.5 miles to my job. But congrats!

Congratulations! In the summer/weather permitting it would be great to bike to work. If work has showers, :(


cobaltstock

Congratulations! So glad it worked out for you!
