Anyway, I'm assuming the increase in pay is more than enough to offset the higher cost of transportation? Is it enough to offset the change in your quality of life? Here's a thought. If you get a chance, why don't you try the actual commute a few times and see how you feel about it? See if you could do it five days a week.

I used to have even more horrendous commutes... I even used to work all the way out in Connecticut!
My dilemma is that I am so spoiled by my current situation. And it isn't about commuting costs (which would be nominally higher, but no big deal). Rather, it's about losing 5 hours of my life every week. However, the upside to having a long-ish train commute is that it isn't always a total loss- you can read, do crossword puzzles, watch movies on the iPod, etc.- all things I would probably do normally anyway on my own time.
