Is your morning commute killing you - more than you think?

Do you work in DC but live in the suburbs, to save money on housing?

Center for Housing Policy study found that nationally, for each dollar people try to save on their housing by choosing a home located farther from the city where they work, they spend an additional 77 cents on transportation costs for commuting!

So if that morning commute has been killing you, here's a reason that living close to where you work and using public transportation might help you save money (and not have to sit behind Angry Horn Beeping Man for 45 minutes).
