It's a 2 hour drive, not taking account the very bad rush hour close to her office (she's near DC) at the typical times. She generally charges $115/hr I believe but has allowed me to pay $75 so far... not sure if that would continue if I became a regular client or if I'd need to pay more. Even so, I only pay $33 right now so that's a big jump for me. Plus the cost of gas to do a 4 hour round trip drive. And last but not least, I work 8-5 and she only sees clients 9-4. I could work a flex schedule where I did a half-day one day per week and worked 8-6 (or something) the other days to account for that, but a 9am appt would force me to leave home around 6am to account for the rush hour into the city. A 4pm appt would be better for rush hour, but due to the nature of my job, once you're there, you often get sucked into emergencies etc and cant leave. I dont want to get charged for appts I never go to. Overall, it's do-able, but difficult. Is it worth it? I dont know.
