What benefits in working at home do you like the most?

Thank you for that enormous compliment in the first sentence. My grandfather on my father's side was a great guy. He bought me books and instilled reading and writing in me as a two year old... I think if it was not for my grandfather in my early years I might have turned out a bit differently. Rest in peace, Papa.

Yes, not much competition working alone that's true. And in my case, I earn more working at home than when I was working out of my home in majority of my sales work and other types of work I experienced before. In my opinion, there is vast opportunity working at home especially online where the whole world could be possible clients. More experience and applicable ideas are just needed to succeed.

yes, more creative means more of money! :D

It would really be great to have a lifestyle wherein your work allows you to be with your family most of the time. Especially for parents who have little children, you can really guide them more easily while they're growing up if you're working at home.

I believe people who work in the military have big pay, so I guess your work-at-home income would be a support for other expenses in raising one's family. Many people would definitely agree that working at home makes life a lot easier.

I can understand your situation, liguoping. Working a day job would surely guarantee good regular salary. Although I somewhat disagree that there are little opportunities in working at home, because I believe many people are becoming millionaires with their online businesses. But then again, you're probably right because not so many people make it big working at home so it needs some special talents to make it. So in general, I think because everyone is different some people would be fit to work in the office while others would prefer working at home. I just see more and more people trying out their hands in online opportunities and work-at-home jobs.

Yes, you have said a lot of good benefits in working at home. I particularly love the idea of having on boss and being your own boss. That takes away a whole lot of stress in your system and in your life. Then there's owning your time and not being tied to the schedule of work, plus you get away from all the traffic and gasoline or travel expenses plus many other expenses associated with working outside your house. For me, it's all worth it!

I guess one of the greatest benefits of working at home is the freedom you get and to be able to own your time. It's really a great feeling and I won't exchange it to any other types of job. And I can imagine that to a lot of people who have health issues, working at home would really be able to help in their particular conditions.

Yes like for me I often work at home in my shorts and T-shirt ( and oftentimes without upper clothes at all! ) Escaping office politics could really be nice, and when you work at home you do totally escape it. We could probably say that working at home is being in our 'home sweet home' 24 hours a day.

I think that would really be one benefit that all office job workers would desire to have. I hope you get there as soon as possible, camalich.

"Doing my job in my bedroom"...what a relaxing site! That even makes the image of working at home in it's most stress-free way. When I buy my own laptop, I would like to do that in some of my work-at-home online projects. Anyway, good luck to your work and studies thewonderboy.

I know that working at home is not for everybody, because I know for many people it wouldn't be easy to discipline oneself to work in front of the internet because of the many temptations to use the computer for entertainment instead of a source of income. I have to battle that for a couple of years until I find a way to manage my time well. Yes, for anyone who's trying to work at home full time, this would be one of the greatest challenge...to be able to use most of the time in productive activities when in front of the computer. You mentioned a lot of benefits from working at home like having no boss and less stressful conditions and being away from office politics. I can understand what you're talking about concerning 'back-biting' from colleagues and how difficult the conditions of working becomes due to them. So working at home gives you more peace of mind. Yes, the earnings you can get from working at home would often be unfixed compared to working in the office, but if you keep working at it I'm sure you could find many ways of having a more fixed income...and in many cases even earns a lot more than what you earn from your day to day jobs. I read somewhere before that the most middle-aged people that becomes millionaires are those that work at home on the internet. Now that could be a great challenge to all people working at home :D

I understand what you're saying, and I do agree that there really are advantages as well as disadvantages of working at home. Anyway, with the benefits you mentioned above, two new benefits was mentioned which are saving a lot of money from gas or transportation allowance ( including food--when you eat outside, that's another extra expenses ) and also being away from your boss ( nothing better than being your own boss ). For me, a few years ago I do battle with being so lazy in front of the computer and therefore being less productive than I want to. The reason for this is that it's so easy to use the computer for more entertaining stuff ( playing online games, surfing the web for entertainment, youtube, etc... ). Well when you do work at home you will really have to let go of your social life in most parts. I remember a long time ago when I do work in the office with other colleagues, I do find it quite enjoyable to be with other people but in my experience that also depends on what company you are and who your colleagues are. It's really enjoyable if you and your colleagues have a great relationship but it could become a burden if you have colleagues you can't get along with well. So I guess working in the office are for those who are really great in dealing with other people and finds it extremely easy to get along well with all types of personalities. For people who work at home, I guess one way to continue having a social life is to continue to look for dates ( ask some friends who can recommend someone for you ), join clubs ( sports club, rotary, or any clubs that resonates with your hobbies ) or probably go to public places like shopping malls when you feel lonely...lol.

I believe with your health condition, I could really imagine how working at home would really be such a great relief for you. Having anxiety disorders and working in some company with many employees could really be such an uncomfortable situation, I think. Anyway, I hope you continue to have enjoyable as well as productive online opportunities and stay working at home as much as you like.

i agree, seeing your family for the most part is one of the great benefits of working at home. Although I think we need to tell our loved ones that when we are working, we can't be disturbed so that we could work more productively at home.

Working in our pajamas...I can't find any better description of what a relaxing job is. That's even better than working in your shorts, which is what I do. In my case, I also enjoy the benefit of owning your time and not being pressured by it. It's such a great feeling and such a stress-free way of working. Well in your case, you can also be around your kids all the time. I think most parents would dream of being able to do that, but because many parents work in the office that would only remain a dream unless they find a way to earn online just like you do. They are definitely great benefits that could be an envy of many people :)
