The Tales of a Long Commute Back Home

Whether you are moving to a new apartment or starting out again at a new office, the commute you take everyday is an element of the new chapter in your life that is hard to overlook.
Your commute to your new address or to your new office definitely has its own set of pros and cons to your daily routine. In a nutshell, the commute you take can either be a strain or a benefit to your overall well being. Let's take a look at how that happens.

It is natural to be confronted with different kinds of hassles in a day, and commuting usually takes the cake. Traffic, pollution, the noise and the fear of being reprimanded because you are late are natural offshoots of a long, annoying and irritating commute. These risks of a long commute are hard to control, hence it can heighten stress levels of the roof. 

Add to that the physical stress a long commute brings to the body such as neck pain, back pain and overall fatigue. Hence, if you happen to have a work mate who reports late to work most of the time, he or she is likely to report bouts of physical stress as well.

However, it is interesting to note that there is also a handful of benefits from a long commute.

Especially for those who take public transport to get to where they need to be, freeing their hands from the steering wheel of their car can provide them more options and time for any kind of preparation or relaxation they want before working. 

They can read the morning paper, check and answer their emails, play games on their phone, fix their tie or their laces, or even sneak in a quick breakfast if they can. If the commute from the house to work lasts for an hour, that means you have one full hour to prepare yourself for what lies ahead in your day. 

Commuting by driving can also be a good opportunity for same major catch up with yourself. As you stand by the wheel of your car, you can listen to the morning news on the radio, belt out some of your favorite tunes to beat the traffic and simply cherish some me-time that you won't have if you are taking the subway or the cab to get to work or any place you need to be for the day. 

At the end of the day, the choice is always yours whether to make something good out of a long commute or lament it by succumbing to stress or road rage. Just as there are many options to address a long commute, there are also as many options out there to beat it and how to make a more favorable commuting arrangement on your end.

If you cannot tolerate a long commute from your house to work, then look for a place that is near your workplace. Rent out an apartment for a short-term arrangement or go full out for a new property if you plan to stay in your current job for the long haul. At this point, it helps to seek the services of a real estate agent who can present to you as many options as possible to give you the best and most favorable living arrangement given your circumstance.

The Perks of Having a 2-Bathroom Property or Apartment

More to clean up. More fixtures to maintain. And you may not even need a spare after all. At least that's how the mind works of a property buyer or lessor currently in the battle of whether getting a 2-bathroom property or not.  
The perks of having a 2-bathroom property may not be imminent, but having 2 can put you at a great advantage in the long run.

Did you know that having 2 bathrooms at home means having less arguments in the house? Unless arguments happen in the kitchen or in the living room, having 2 bathrooms at least lessens the issues from happening at home. But then again, if you do not have a strict bathroom schedule that everyone who lives with you will follow, you definitely need another bathroom to keep the harmony intact.

Having 2 bathrooms also increases your privacy, especially if you happen to be splitting the rent with a roommate. Since you share every inch of space in your apartment already, it wouldn't hurt to have a semblance of privacy in your bedroom and also in the bathroom. Regardless if one bathroom only houses the toilet and the other is the full one with the shower, you still get a dedicated space for each of your toiletries, medicines and other personal items.

Waking up every day to 2 bathrooms is the same as waking up to convenience. Just imagine how unpleasant it is to find your roommate in the toilet since he or she forgot to lock the door. With 2 bathrooms, you do not have to have a schedule for use of the bathroom. No need to rush nor change schedules just to accommodate the needs of one another.

Also, there is nothing wrong with having a backup. A spare and hardly-used bathroom is like a force of angel when the bathroom that you regularly use suddenly becomes out of order. You will be glad you made the decision of having a spare bathroom that you can use immediately.

A second bathroom at home makes it perfect for entertaining guests as well. A second bathroom makes it convenient to accommodate guests when they need to go to the loo. You do not have to excuse yourself with all the personal effects you have in your bathroom. You can design your spare bathroom specifically for your guests’ use.

More importantly, if you have plans of selling your property in the future, this is good news. 

A property that has 2 (or more) bathrooms is usually higher in value compared to a property that only has one. You will be surprised at how your property will fare should you have plans of putting it on the market.
If it is not going to work to the advantage of leveraging your lifestyle, if you think it will not provide you convenience or it's not a considerable source of profits, then the value of second bathroom is worthless to you. If it is the opposite, then you know exactly what to do.
