    Hearing that makes me sad. Must be better alternatives, right? Work from home 4 times a week, take public transportation, or worst case move/find new job. Maybe not options for everyone but I personally would never bear to sit in a car that much.

      Not at the time, not for him, really. I mean, neither of us work there anymore. I’m not talking about office work. We were marine mechanics, working on big diesel engines. The job doesn’t support city living (unless you’re in a shared apartment). I was the only one in our crew who lived in the city.

      There are thousands of similar situations in any expensive area, necessary jobs that don’t pay enough for their location.

        I see, thanks for the explanation. Hope both you and him some day find jobs which allows you to free up your time.

        Edit: or you know, whatever you value
