I had a friend who's father did the 4 hours of commuting in/out of NYC every day. Used to visit a few times a year, and he did that every day M-F.

As a Vermonter kid, I had a lot of trouble getting my head around how he stayed sane.



He didn't want to be with his family.


Nope - he was quite a family man, great dad, gave every minute that he was at home to his family.

The money was good - I'm pretty sure that was the motivation. Also part of his personality - he grew up in serious poverty and was driven to climb the ladder. And climb he did.
