Long time reader first time poster here...... :)
I have been a commuter for 2 years and a few months, losing two hours of my day on the road and money out of my pocket, commuter fees and all. Not to mention the fact that I was getting up at 4:30 am........but I digress....... Just last month I paid my car off and if that wasn't enough, just yesterday I moved .8 of a mile from work now I can walk or ride to work in 15mins or less!
No car payment, no cable, no 2 hour commute = more time and savings.
I'm excited about the changes and looking forward to paying off my debt and FI!!!
