Easy, inexpensive and location independence were my reason, however the main driving force was to be my own boss.

Comment on Our Frugal Ways: Move Closer to Work by Jamie

Interesting. I live in Austin, south Austin to be exact, and my commute to work is about 30 – 45 minutes depending on what day it is and when I leave. Right now I pay about 850 in rent for a 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath duplex with a back yard and carport. I drive a Toyota Yaris, and I have a 7 year old son, and his father and I are divorced. If I were to move closer to my work, I would most likely be paying 400 dollars more in rent every month for a much smaller apartment, which the savings in gas would likely be only about maybe from 60-100 bucks a month, and I would also have to uproot my child from his school, which has done a wonderful job in working with us with some of his speech and occupational therapies. It amazes me how most people’s solutions to things are move closer to work, ride a bike, take public transportation, when in a lot of people’s lives, this just isn’t practical at all. I refuse to be without my car at work in case there is an emergency with my son and I am stuck waiting for a bus or paying out the ass for a cab. And I was lucky i had my car one time when he was in daycare he fell and smacked his forehead into the sidewalk and had a nice big cut and bruise, but I was able to get to him rather quickly. I think most people never think about these things.
