It's something that vast numbers of people did in the past, and that a lot of people still do. I've done it myself. Not quite so easy if you have a spouse who also works and kids who go to school. Are they supposed to just up sticks because you've had enough of your commute? I repeat, it's something that lots of people have done, and lots of people do do, so is clearly not completely unreasonable. A family is all Yes - they're normally in their 20s and short term renting with no commitments. no they are not lots of people move house to enable them to take a better job Yes, lots of young unattached people. When someone is settled with a family then moving any great distance is something you only do if you really need if the gain really outweighs the pain. Obviously if you're only moving a few miles then its not a big deal. and many of them have families to move as well Some do, most don't unless they're selfish ****s and #1 always comes first. The compromise is you lump the commute or find a nearer job. If those are the choices, then why did they take the job in the first place? Perhaps when they first took it the commute wasn't so bad but now the traffic or trains are impossible. Or they needed the money so badly they took anything to pay the mortgage/tent. Moving house when you have a family with kids in school is very much a last resort. well of course that doesn't mean that people don't so it Of course not, just the majority don't. |
