Time Lost Annually
That is equivalent to working 14 extra weeks per year for free.
Value Gap
You are technically "losing" this much per hour for every hour you sit in traffic or prep for work.
Reality Check
A salary of $75,000.00 feels like success, but your lifestyle costs time. If you work from home, that "Commute" slider goes to zero, instantly giving you a raise in true hourly value.
