When you’re looking at potential homes, there is much to consider, things like how many bedrooms, and the state of the roof, but one important aspect that we tend to ignore…and that’s your commute time.

Recent studies have discovered that people with the longest commutes tend to have lower overall satisfaction with life, and that even high paying jobs don’t provide enough wealth to comfortably offset the costs of vehicle maintenance and transit.

Longer hours away from home also mean commuters are more likely to miss children’s school activities and less likely to eat dinner with friends and family.

So when it comes to finding your forever home, make sure the distance to office is reasonable

… both for your finances and long term health.
