Know Your Commuting Costs


How much is your commute really costing you? With gas prices steadily increasing, every mile you drive is the most expensive it's ever been. Everyday your drive to work is becoming more and more of a financial burden. When you do the math, you could easily be spending thousands of dollars a year just getting to and from work.

Along with our recently published article on the Cost of Commuting (http://www.joblessncollege.com/article.php?page=cost_of_commuting), JoblessNCollege.com has created a tool to help you compute the cost of your daily commute like the examples in our article. You can find the embedded version of our calculator on the right side of the article page or you can use the stand-alone version here.

All the talk about alternative fuels is great but having a plan for the short-term is just as, if not more important. Hopefully this article and calculator will help you better estimate your fuel expenses and budget accordingly.
