Need advice on commuting for work
So the story is we're leaving Reno and moving to Vancouver WA. The reason we're moving is because the gf's ex husband has been offered a job he honestly shouldn't turn down in Portland OR and he wants to get a house in Vancouver. He has 3 kids with my gf and her and myself have 2 so we need to be able to live near each other so the kids can all go to school. So here's my issue: The company that I work for has a warehouse that I can transfer to in Lacey WA but my commute will be between 1.5-2 hours one way. I'm not sure if I should try and make this commute every day or maybe start looking for another job. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee right now and I'll most likely be filling my tank up twice a week which for me would be around $100 a tank. I really don't wanna spend $800 a month on gas so maybe trade in the Jeep for a much more practical car to make that trip every day. Or look into a Rideshare type deal but I doubt there are too many people commuting from Vancouver to Olympia every day. Any advice would help.
