- Jae Kim, 55, drives from Alabama to South Carolina every week to work as a real estate broker.
- The drive takes him about five hours one way, and his biggest expense is gas.
- While the commute is necessary for his career, he said it can take away from family time.
Jae Kim has come to terms with driving over 700 miles each week to get to work.
Kim, 55, moved with his wife and two kids to Auburn, Alabama, in 2016 because his wife grew up there, the city had a good education system for his kids, and it seemed like the best move for the family at the time.
