<prompt> Human: Please help advise me...Own a house, married, expecting a baby and make about 170k combined with my wife per year. Currently have about 150k in total savings. Im a frugal person and dont like to spend all that much and especially on a car. However, my commute to work is about 1.5 hr each way in traffic and I know the tesla autopilot feature would help with my sanity. But it is still a 51k car. And the wife works 5 mins away from the house.Or ... I can rent out my house and move closer to work. Cashflow about 300-500 a month in rental income. But I think I would spend more on rent moving closer into the city. I do not have a car right at this moment, so I would still need to buy one. 25-35k range. Also, I would be moving further away from my in laws who can help a lot with expected baby and my wife would be further away from work.Or... Cash out refinance the house to buy another somewhere in the middle of our commute. Which I do not want to because the cost is high in those areas. I would rather save this option to buy multi family rental properties somewhere else one day.Or ... ???  <response>: OP, I think youre overthinking this. If a car you can afford would make your commute bearable, get it. If what youre really getting at is your commute is unbearable regardless of what you drive then you can think about moving.
