22 Days

I was watching one of those real estate shows where this guy lives more than a 2 hour drive from his work ... that is ONE way .... for a JOB!  He had to get a place in the city where he stays during the week and then drives home to spend time with his wife and kids on the weekends.  They were looking for a new house closer to where he works. 


So I did a little math ......

I spend an average of 22, twenty-four hour days, each year in my car going to and from work.  

I'm not whining or complaining ... I just find it fascinating.  

Add it up, you might be surprised how much time (and gas) you devote to your daily commute.

Seems like we could do a lot of "important" things in 22 days.  

If I chose to spend that time differently, I'd do something selfish like workout!  

I think I'm causing global warming......

So how many days do you spend going to and from work each year?  If you could trade it in, what would you do with the time?  I'd like to hear from you.  Post a comment!

Happy driving!

That's 22 days a year for me too...only that doesn't count the days that traffic is extra bad! That surely adds another couple of days! Don't get me even started on the amount of gas though...I'll let you know when I do with my extra time after my commute drops to 10 mins each way in July!! Love ya!
