Miss Mandi, if you please! And I knew to the PENNY how much my transportation allowance was before I bought a car. And how much that car would be when amortized over 3.5 years. It doesn't matter how much you get or don't, it only matters how much you spend. The whole point is to spend less than you get, can we agree? And if you tell me you didn't know and didn't bother to find out what your allowance was before you bought the car then I shall think less of you. And I don't consider your inconvenience a big issue for your boss to subsidize. I commuted for ten years a thousand miles to work. If the plane was late, that was MY problem! Many's the night I spent in New York because I couldn't get home that night. Anyway, have your tried asking him for more? Taking the bus? Carpooling by taxi? I understand loving a car, I just don't understand asking someone else to subsidize it.
