I commute about 30,000 miles a year. 2,500/month. Trust me, I'd much rather pay for the gas than the extra mortgage or rents! Right now, figure about $270 a month in gas. I pay a $600 mortgage. Market rate apartments in the city I work for in my demographic run about $1200/month. An equivelant house & land within 15 miles of where I work would be about $2000-2500/month...maybe a little less for me due to equity in my current property I could use towards buying a new one. I have co-workers looking at $450,000 houses for goodness sake! Gas is a lot cheaper than real estate in Southern New England! (Did buy a used Volvo for $1000 that gets 10mpg more than my truck...may be about a wash by the time taxes, insurance, and repairs are included, but at least it's not as much at the pump!)
