Yeah its not a bad pay, my wife makes close to that amount, I make less and we were able to buy a house after we split the mortgage with her parents instead of paying two rents, we are comfortable just a bit cramped and now have about two hour commute a day, my job offers free ev charging so that saves us about $500 a month we used to spend on gas
We could, but not for the same pay. For example my wife is a teacher if she switches to a local school the salary is 20k less. Another big thing is my job doesn’t have a set schedule so when we all commute together I’m not really in a rush as long as she gets there on time. And my parents live right by her school so we can drop off our kid, then I drop her off, and my job is like 15 minutes further so it kind of just works.
When she’s on summer break I can go to work earlier like 5 or 6am and avoid traffic which cuts the commute in half

Two hour commute is quite a lot. Can you not change job?
