> Jorgensen said the extreme commute has saved her thousands of dollars -- most of that in rent. The average rent for an apartment in the city is roughly $3,747. It's less than half of that in Charlotte, where the average rent is a little more than $1,400.

> "I stay at my friend Jenni’s house. I pay her a little bit for rent so it works out both ways that’s one of the things that made it really affordable to do this back and forth, I don’t have to get a hotel every time," she said.

The average rent is less important if she's basically staying at a friend's house for free, but I guess if she can find a flight for $100, that's only $500 a week, or $2000 a month.
