I commute about a hour each way but for me the money was worth it. I would say look outside the money however. If it will impact your quality of life, then I would say no, don't do it.

So is savage habits a car club or gang? If your not part of a car club why would you be claiming you are? Also if the jobs good enough commuting any type of mileage shouldn't bother you as long as your following a career path. If its taco bell or weinerschnitzel then fuck a 10 min commute. When did cafords give out regular ass life advice, pickup a friend or two and stop driving around in your car with your little pellet guns nigga.

Not sure where in Oak your are or where in Sac your job is, but Google maps puts the distance from city to city at 81 miles (one way) if you take I80 and 102 miles (one way) if you take I5 through Tracy.

If you take I80, you have to pay $4 to cross the bridge. Let's say your car gets 26mpg, for a round trip, you'll be burning through 6.23 gallons of gas at $3.60/gallon, that's $22.43 in gas. With bridge toll, you're spending $26.43 a day in travel costs. With your $7/hr increase, the first 4 hours of your pay increase have disappeared. Obviously if your car gets worse mileage, your costs increase.

If you take I5 to avoid the bridge toll, you're looking at 204 miles round trip and burning 7.84 gallons of gas for a grand total of $28.24. It's actually more money to avoid driving over the bridge.

Sac is nice. The cost of living is pretty low and you won't spend half your life sitting in the car and half your wage increase on gas.
