Commute or Rent? Help me decide

Problem/Goal: Hi! As the title says, I need opinions on whether I should continue commuting to work or just rent somewhere near the office.

Context: I used to rent but I decided to just live at the house our family owns. The main reason for that is the house needed to be maintained, and I was tired of having roommates. Feel ko nakaka hinder yung lagi mong need iconsider schedule nila, like sa pagluluto, or paglalaba. I like having the freedom of living alone.

So I tried commuting to work but the problem is, it’s very difficult. I live about 1.5~2hrs away from the office, and it involves four transfers: bus, tricy, and dalawang train.

The good thing about commuting though is mura lang yung pamasahe (180 a day) compared to renting. Our office is located in a business district so yung rent medyo mahal (12k minimum for a solo room), unless I opt for a shared room.

So ayun, do you guys think it’s still worth it to commute? Nakakapagod, pero I really appreciate having a house where I get to be free.
