> But you're also getting the commuting time back, which might be worth some money too. Not necessarily - a lot of people (myself included) essentially give that time to their employer. I drop my kids off at school and start work when I get home at 8am and work until 5pm when I pick them up. When I go in, my commute necessarily occurs between those two events. In my company at least, I don't think this is rare. On the rare days I go into the office, it's easy to notice that people don't show up until well after 9 and everyone is gone by 3:30-4. I think many people have shifted to taking their commute time from what used to be considered the employer's time rather than personal time.
