Is it worth living in Delaware and commuting to work in Philadelphia?
I am considering a job offer in downtown Philly. I currently go to school in the Main Line and know that living here will eat most of my entry-level salary. I have friends who live and work in Delaware and they keep saying how cheap it is to live there. It seems that insurance, rent, and other things are cheaper there than PA. However, the SEPTA train service doesn't seem to be as frequent and it's a bit longer of a ride downtown. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences of living just over the state line in Delaware and commuting to Philly. Is the location worth the financial savings?

I had a friend that commuted to work and school from DE. It is much cheaper in DE. It really depends on if you don't mind the extra inconveniece and time with the R2 or traffic on 95. You have to decide whether the extra impatience is worth it. She moved to PA after a year of commuting. However, she wants to move back to DE. I do too. Tax free living! It wouldn't hurt to try to find a job in the PA/DE border. Good Luck

It's cheaper than Pennsylvania, but I'm not sure by how much. And Delaware sucks anyway.
