It's an hour both ways without traffic (I've driven it at off-hours). Probably an hour-and-a-half with. The guy who I'd be working for lives about the same distance away. He'd let me work 7 to 3, which is what he does to avoid the worst traffic.

I'd be spending $300 a month on gas, and I'd have to buy another car for my wife. Considering additional expenses, there would be probably a net $20k difference after breaking even and paying my existing bills.

If he offers me the job, I'd have to take it. My current place knows that I'm officially on the market, and that I will give them an opportunity to make a counter-offer before I leave for more money.
