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?

A 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).
