Ugh I hate my commute. I feel like I was forced into it since I bought my home with the understanding that I would have a job with company A. They then sold my whole division right before my 2 year contract was up, and I had to scramble for a new job. I am grateful that I found a job with similar pay before my unemployment benefits ran out, but fuck I mourn the loss of my ability to WFH most days of the week. Some days it’s hard not to be bitter about what could have been if company A had their shit together!!!

Have you ever considered self employment? Starting a business closer to home (or from home) might be just what you need. I don’t know your expertise or interests, but if it suits you, it might give you the freedom and flexibility you need. My wife and I have been self employed since 2001, and we have been very fortunate to make it work well for the past 25 years. We spend every day with the kids, have flexibility in our lives and earn profits instead of wages. Give it a thought.
