200 miles each day, someone's over estimating
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
One way or is that round trip @op. And is it 200 big city miles or 200 across Montana?

Tá brón orm, ní thuigim. An bhfuil béarla agat le do thoil?

Plot twist: Unpaid internship. 280% of $0 is 0$
IRBafoon
All that extra cash going towards fuel and repairs so you break even
iwxLeprechaun
Time to break your lease early or sell

If only you could work half days, it would still be a (lower) bump in pay, and they hours would level right out...
asteconn
Can have flexible hours. I think I might opt to work from home a couple of times a week once I've finished making a good first impression.
ZaphodBbx
Or maybe something like four ~10 hour days instead of five ~8s...
asteconn
Not feasible given the time it takes: I'm driving for about 5 to 6 hours a day, but I had thought about it.
Getakin
i assume you're going to move closer though.. right?
asteconn
Absolutely. It costs me almost as much in fuel as it would to rent closer.
Getakin
good deal then. best of luck to you!

#OP at the moment:
asteconn
wut
DaveFondale
Don't wut me m8, you got a job you love, an 280% pay increase and you can move the distance when you get paid, that gif is wut you should do
asteconn
Oh yeah, I get that; I don't understand the twerking
DaveFondale
It isn't as much twerking as it is happy dancing
davepermen
a) time to move or b) time to get a selfdriving tesla ;)
asteconn
Might be able to afford one in a few years!
davepermen
well, my model 3 is ordered. i have NO clue how to pay it yet :D but there's a goal to accomplish now. good luck to your goals!

@OP, ill be doing something similar soon... car or train commute?
asteconn
Car. 5 times cheaper than the train for the same destination.
fishfinder401
that stinks... im lucky that i can get a month train pass for like 300 something, i don't think i could do a commute like that in a car
asteconn
Cruise control ftw. No stranger to long drives, drove to Norway earlier this year. Took 2 days of 12 hour drives once I got to the mainland.
fishfinder401
anything over a half hour is long to me haha, were are you that you will be commuting that far if you don't mind me asking
asteconn
Great Malvern to Thame
homer15
if only there was some way to remedy this situation.
asteconn
Not yet, unfortunately. I have negative pennies and rents are in the region of 500 GBP a month + 500 deposit.

I'm poor and housing near my new job is too expensive for me until I get paid
