How many times does the average person change jobs? How many different houses does the average person buy in a lifetime? I am 29 and have had 7 different jobs all in different parts of the city and have had only 1 house. It doesn’t make sense to buy a house just because it’s close to your job. Maybe you get another job offer in a few years that is 2 hours away, will you move your family so you don’t have to drive a long way to work? ---

Maybe you get another job offer in a few years that is 2 hours away, will you move your family so you don’t have to drive a long way to work? riiighht i think the point brad is making is that if you live 20 minutes from the ‘city’ or where ever the ‘jobs’ are then it’s a hell of a lot better than commuting 1.5 to 2 hours into town just to save some cash on a house!!! i bet if you really work out the numbers the commute over a year or two will add a considerable amount of money to your spending… it’s all irrelevent… getting to work is not negotiable, so it’s money spent… if you’re 20 minutes thats a hell of a lot nicer than 45 or 90… you’re in the south hills… what a 40 minute with traffic drive downtown? tha’ts not terrible and that is ‘close’ to the city… it’s sure as hell not rural like latrobe!! that’s in a different freaking county and is a 40 minute drive going 100 mph with no traffic!!! of coarse property and house value is going to be different :doh: i’d buy a house for it’s location, any day of the week… what location is important to a person is a personal opinion… duh ---

I drive 45 minutes to work and it’s 11 miles. ☹ I could get a job 2 minutes away from my house or I could get a job 1.5 hours away from my house, it really doesn’t matter to me. I won’t move unless I have to travel over 2 hours, that would fucking suck. ---

> [@77rednecktruck](#): > > never buy a house because it’s close to your work. I didn’t buy a house because it is close to my work… But I also would not buy a house in Pittsburgh and drive to Latrobe??? I bought this house because it close to everything without feeling like you’re in town. 5 miles to the mall… 5 miles to work… 5 miles to groceries… so on… But our neighbors cannot reach out their windows and knock on our house… ---
