Wouldn’t it be great to live 10 minutes from work? Think about how much longer you could sleep during the week. Or you could go ahead and get up early to exercise, run an extra load of laundry or catch up on social networking with your friends. In addition to the time saved, you can experience savings on you automobile costs as well. From lower fuel costs to lower insurance costs, a shorter drive has its benefits.
