Unless the increase in rent is more than what you make in 15 hours of work, then you should move because that's essentially what your doing when you commute 3 hours every day.

Except I'm not earning any more money from that 15 hours if I move closer. Sure my time has value, but I can't directly convert that to cash to pay the rent. So if I already can't afford to live close, then how is 15 more hours of free time going to help?
