Commute from Philadelphia to Jersey City

Hi everyone,

I was looking for thoughts or insights from people who have had a similar commute. I recently started a dream job in Jersey city and live in Philadelphia. I only have to go in 3 days a week. I leave my house at 6:15 and get home by 7:15. Am I crazy for considering renewing my lease and staying in Philadelphia? It’s long days but I drive to Hamilton and take nj transit in. It’s been 3 months and I expected it to take a longer toll on me than it has. It seems silly to restart my personal life over a 2 hour commute. Will it eventually catch up to me?

Thanks!
