But as per usual people don't want to make the necessary sacrifices. If you want to live in a big expensive city you have to pay more. If you work a job that pays the maximum their office is probably in a big expensive city which means you either have to live in said city or commute there. I could have higher paying job, but that would require 1-2 hour commute. I could also move closer to the office, but that would mean taking on debt or paying high rent. My compromise is to live ~15 minute drive away from the office. I live in cheaper city (I'd have to pay at least twice if not thrice as much for same size apartment), but I have to commute to the office, I could use public transportation, but then I'd be chained to schedules and it would take ~45 minutes in total, so I choose to own a car and drive.
