okay but when do chores happen? i can barely keep up on dishes and laundry with a 45 minute commute each way. sleep, too...

Currently you work 8 hours + 1.5 hours commute. With this you'd work 6.5 hours + 1.5 hour commute, so you'd have 1.5 extra hour for chores or whatever.

If you use train/bus for commuting, you can even sleep there :-)

i didn't realize the commute was implicitly a part of the 8 hours in your scenario. that makes a little more sense.
