I did Coquitlam to Richmond for near 2 years. It was ok at first but the congestion got worse even over that stretch taking close to 90 minutes coming home. We also have 2 young kids to contend with, so my wife and I are both taking wear and tear thanks to them. Plus less available energy anyways as we work through our mid-30's.
My commute now is at most 30 mins. I get home only an hour earlier than previous, but this is a huge game changer in terms of making dinner, cleaning up after dinner, packing lunches, time with family, getting kids ready for bed, etc etc. Basically I've gotten an extra 20% post-work time by cutting my commute down
