Well, once again, my wife Tricia and I are trying to decide what she should do, job-wise. She currently travels about 50 minutes to Naperville to teach 5th grade. Upside...great school, great pay, great principal; downside...10 hours a week in the car. She's considering trying to get a job at our local elementary school, White Oak. Upside...close (she could walk), it's where our daughter will be next year for K5 and our son the year after; downside...about a $800 per month drop in take home.
We've really wavered back and forth. The future will definitely see her at White Oak, but the question is...one more year in Naperville or try to get to White Oak this fall. Hard call. We've gone back and forth...leaning to one and then the other and then back to the other... Love to have your prayers on this one.
We've taken into account the cost of commuting (financial), the cost of daycare (Katy would have none), the cost of commuting (time in car, time away from family). Let me hear from you on this one.

I would do exactly what you are doing, some cost/benefit analysis. Cost of gas, wear and tear, oil changes, tires, etc. Plus, just the fact of having to not have a perfectly reliable car would be nice. All in all though it is ultimately "you all's" decision. But time is definately worth something too. I will pray for you guys. I truly hope it comes clear.
thanks man!
