I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just stating a common excuse. The arguably better choice on my part would have been to "just say no" and keep renting. I have co-workers with 70+ mile commutes (one-way), and they've been doing it for over 30 years. I remember one fellow who put maybe 300K miles on his classic beetle. He finally got a new car. A bottom-line Mazda compact.
Ha ha, if I was 100 miles away
(and if that reality hadn't led me to kill myself), I would probably be driving a first gen Insight. Hmmmm, if I lose my job in this economy (entirely possible), then a 100 mile commute to save my house will suddenly become "reasonable" to me.
