I agree with you on the coffee but not the commute.
I had a long commute for a few years -- 9 hour workday with 3.5 hour round-trip commute, 5 days a week. I traded ~50% of my free time for ~50% more salary.
After factoring in commuting costs, taxes, and the time-saving services for things I used to do myself it wasn't as much of a net increase as I thought it would be.
But more importantly, what's the point of having money if you don't have time to use it?
