How far would you drive for work, or do you drive for work?

I currently drive about 45 minutes to 1 hour one way for work, but the actual time is variable-- it very much depends on the time of day and traffic conditions, accidents, weather, etc. The mileage is about 32 miles one way. The Phoenix area is so spread out, I'm used to driving for pretty much everything so my work commute doesn't bother me most of the time. It puts miles and wear and tear on my car, but I have a Honda Fit, so it's holding up well.

If I end up staying late at work for some reason, or get in to work late because of an accident on the road or something, then I do sometimes feel 'screwed out of' my evening relaxing because I don't get home till 6 pm or after and we go to bed between 8:30 - 9 pm, but that's rare, thankfully.

I do really like my job (decent pay and benefits, and I really like the company) but that's only part of it-- we chose to live in a smaller town/suburb about 20 miles outside the Phoenix suburban area 'proper' so driving is just a trade-off for us to live where we picked.

When I was out of work and looking, the mental cut-off number I had in my head was 50 miles one way, although I didn't want to do it unless I had to. I know there are some 'super-commuters' in the Phoenix area who drive 2-3 hours one way for their job so they can live outside of Phoenix, but I could never do that.

eta: I don't have a pre-set 'start time' unless there's a meeting, audit, etc. scheduled, which helps with unforseen traffic issues. the management here believes as long as you're getting your work done, you can do it however/whenever you need to.

I drive about 15-20 minutes to work. DH drives about 35-40 minutes. Both commutes are mainly interstate, so it's not bad. The only problem comes when there's a wreck and you're stuck on I-10 for an hour.

I drive 15 minutes to work daily.
I love my job, have good pay and good benefits.

I hate the Midwest winters!
Now that my kids are getting older, I wish I lived in Texas!
I'd commute if I could never see below zero temps and these ugly gray Indiana skies for 5+ months. 

Before we moved this past March, DH drove 100 miles round trip every day for 7 1/2 years. 

He LOVES his job, though.

We are 4 people living at home (me, DH, DD27 and DS24), so:

*Me: 35-40 min each way. No benefits. Basically helping friends by mentoring/nannying their children in exchange for groceries.
*DD: 45-50 min each way. Min. wage. No benefits. She LOVES the job, but it's so far away + the hours vary. Some days she's called in just for 3 hours. Not worth it!! It'll look good on her resume though.
*DS: 15 min each way. Slightly above min wage. No benefits.

Two things to keep in mind:
In this part of FL, we're all extremely lucky to get any job, even part time. We have to travel to find those jobs though, and they rarely pay (even with a degree).
We are 4 people with ONE car. My kids moved down here last year and are still waiting for their dad to ship their cars here. At first we encouraged them to get jobs, but now with DH being the taxi driver, he's driving for well over 6 hours/day, putting tons of mileage on our new car and he's exhausted (he's a heart patient and shouldn't be doing this much!). It's insane. I know it's tough everywhere, but this scenario is pretty horrible. There is no public transportation that goes in the direction of any of our jobs, and I checked into taxi services. They are $26 each way for DD!!! That's practically her whole paycheck.

Is the norm everywhere to try to get young people to work part time, and avoid giving them medical benefits? That's what I'm finding here. Not sure if it's like that everywhere. It's so much harder than when we were their age!

At my current job, I drive about 15 minutes one way, and that is in highway traffic. It is awesome. Previously, we lived in a much larger city, and I drove about 30-40 minutes one way. That was fine, but I probably wouldn't want to have a commute each day that was much longer than that. However, people do commute crazy distances. A colleague here commutes over an hour one way, because they need to live in a certain city due to her DH's job.

I'm a SAHM now, but at my last job, my commute was 10min. I worked there for 10 years. The place I'm looking at applying at when my youngest starts school is about 12 min away, if I hit all of the lights.

I work 13 miles away from home, and on a good day I can make it in 30 minutes. Usually it's 35-45. Lots of red lights. Love my job, have great benefits, okay pay, great people to work with.

Nope. It takes us 15 min to get to work and I generally feel like I wish we lived close enough to walk. No way would I commute 50 min. I would move closer if the job was that good.
