    I traded in my car a couple of weeks ago and the guy at the dealer was so shocked that I only drove 11k miles in 4 years. He was like, do you even buy groceries? Well, working from home and strategically living close to all the places I regularly need to go to makes me drive less. As for me getting a new car after just 4 years, that’s another story.

      Google had sent me an update of my usage for November and was all, “You drove 35 miles this month!”

      Wfh and strategic home location are privilege.

      Disclaimer, I do this too.

      But this is the “if your state/country is conservative/bad/repressive just move” of commuting.

        I get what you mean, but I’m in a conservative state. But yes, just being able to work from home and afford to live close to the city is a privilege, and I’m aware of that.
