I fly 1,100 miles every week. My family can’t move. My job requires five days in office. The arrangement has a name I didn't choose: super commuter.
I built a financial framework to evaluate the arrangement. Five metrics. A ratio that tells me when to continue and when to stop. The math works.
Whether it’s worth it is a different question. One the math can’t answer.
This series documents the arrangement in real time. The finances, the logistics, the weight my family carries, and the questions that don’t fit in a spreadsheet. I’m writing it as I live it. I don’t know how it ends.
The arrangement began February 2025.
