I moved to a new job back in December. One of the things I perceived as downside was that I would no longer be downtown, and thus out of public transit range. It was a bummer, but I found a great deal on a used Leaf, and took the job.
Bonus: I also moved out of tempting restaurant / coffee shop range! The lunch offerings out here are so "meh" that I finally broke my spendy lunch out habit. I've been packing my lunch every day to the point that it's my new habit. Also -- the coffee is nothing special (Starbucks), so I just drink from the free office Keurig.
This simple change is saving me $300 a month. I've probably lost a couple pounds in the process as well!
