I tell myself I could, but it's rough. A good 3+ hours in the car every day.

That's two good hobbies and sixpack abs right there, if you spend that time on self improvement instead of sitting in a car. Commutes over on hour per day are a huge sacrifice from your most precious resource: unallocated time

Honestly, the mornings and the evenings are the time I get to spend with my wife and daughter. I value time with them infinitely more than I value listening to audiobooks/podcasts in rush hour traffic for 15 hours a week.

I think he means what you mean, that you could be doing far better things in the 3 hours you waste in the car.

Yeah, you're totally right. I completely missed the "instead of sitting in the car" part. Thanks. Sorry nikanj.
