My mom said to take the smaller pay cut for the shorter drive, and she was right
When I got two job offers after getting laid off in Phoenix, my mom told me to pick the one paying $4,000 less because it was 15 minutes from my apartment instead of 50. I ignored her and took the bigger check, then spent 2 hours a day in traffic and burned through that extra money on gas and takeout within 3 months. I quit and took the closer job 5 months later, and my mornings are way less stressful now. Has anyone else picked money over time and wished they hadn't?

Oof, been there. Time is worth more than the paycheck.
