His numbers are absolute nonsense - $125k over 10 years is only possible if you were spending your wage commuting - it's far more than just the $19/day travel costs he cites.

If you go from a 60 minute commute to a 0 minute commute, you don't suddenly get 2 hours of extra pay per day.

It's like saying "You don't get paid for that hour of chores you do every day - which means if you stop doing chores, you'll get more money!"




I'm glad you said that, I was having problems with that bit of the arithmetic myself. My time is precious to me, but only earns me money when someone wants to pay me for it.
