        That depends a LOT on the car.

        A small suzuki would be a hell of a lot cheaper than a BMW 7 series… (not in the price tag, but… running costs)

      • You might need to buy additional food
      • Wear and tear of work attire
      • Might need to pay extra for someone to watch pet/child

      Also there are additional costs of time

      • Extra time shaving or similar (if you know you are staying home some things can be delayed a bit)
      • Possibly extra time to prepare food
      • Traffic/weather delays
      • Extra effort for small things easily manage while at home e.g accepting deliveries, watching pets or opening for maintenance workers

      That’s of the top of my head, so 1 hour lost per day is a low estimate.

      Yeah, for me WFH is a lot more than 8% raise. It’s a lot cheaper. We were paying to work and didn’t even realized it
