I work at home because I am disabled and no longer able to work a regular job.
I am now managing a business for my wife so that she will have a decent income if something should happen to me.
I have been in network marketing for a while, and am finally starting to see some positive results.
The fact that I no longer have to answer to anyone or maintain a regular schedule is a big plus, and I am hoping that in a year or so to have a really good income.
Since I don't have a lot of money, I am having to use leverage to build my business, and it takes some time to do that.
Fortunately time to work my business is something I have in ample supply.

First of all the gas is too expensive. Second, I homeschool and I can monitor that better than leaving now in the evening for work. It works and I am glad for the job however I would prefer to be more of what I can do and express myself through projects done from the home. Also I can be paid better for working on line that I do in real life. At least that is the plan and yet has come to be.

I want to work from home because I am on disability and am looking for a way to supplement it. I like not having to deal with co-workers and enjoy being my own boss and setting my own hours.

Due to a back and shoulder injury several years ago, I have been unable to work outside of the home. Recently I also injured my knee as well, so even the little things that I was able to do are no longer possible for me. Working from home is the best answer for me.

I first started working at home almost 20 years ago. Shortly after I had my 1st child, I went back to work for about 6-8 months then decided to start my own home daycare so I could be home with her. Several years later I had my 2nd child and continued with my working from home. Once both kids were in school full time, I went back to work outside the home for 1 school year, I taught in a preschool. I then went back to the home daycare again.
I just love being home. I loved being home when my kids were little, and loved it when they got older so I could be there when they got off the school bus each day.

I would like to work from home because I would like to be my own boss and be able to work my own hours. It would also be great because it would mean less traveling and less spending on gas and wear and tear on my car. You would not have to worry about inclement weather to deal with. You can take breaks whenever you want. There is a lot of benefits to working from home. Some people have children to take care of so working from home would be great for them.

Why work from home? No difficult personalities to deal with. No boss hanging over your shoulder. My time is my own. I make my own hours. We hae 2 huskies that need frequent walks. I do not drive in this country so itwould cost too much to travel on public transport. It is just such a welcome change that I don't think I could handle working in an office again.

I'd rather be at home earning money for what I enjoy doing most. I don't want to work in fast food with all the other college kids flipping burgers or serving annoying teens that think they're better than everyone else all day. At home, I don't have to wear or buy a uniform, I don't have to commute to work and waste gas. I can stay at home and earn money. It's far easier than doing any of the above in my opinion.

I would love the freedom of setting my own schedule. Unfortunatly, I don't think I really have the self-dicipline it would take to earn a substantial income from home. Now, when I am at work, I am very good about getting things done and staying motivated, but at home, I find it very easy to get distracted and put things off.
Plus, I think I would go stir-crazy after about 3 days on my own!

I want to work from home because I get very anxious when I have a job. I like the idea that there is nobody pressuring me because I am in charge. I don't like others deciding how I manage my time.

I'd like to be able to work from home because my hours vary due to family life. I'd love to be my own boss and be able to set my own hours. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about hiring a babysitter/nanny to watch my kids if I could work from home. I could tend to my own kids when needed.

Hello! I would love to work from home so that I could set my own hours and do household chores too. It would also be a big savings on gas and laundry expenses and I would be able to work in pajamas! It would be easy to get all the housework done on a daily basis. The best part is that there is no boss looking over your shoulder!

Currently I am working from home and enjoying it.
Working from home
- gives me flexibility to fit family activities and personal time into my life, yet doesn't mean I have to sacrifice an income.
- I get to fit parenting and work into my life without the dreaded 9 to 5 office career.
- Working from home allows me to work whenever I want and earn how much I want without having to sacrifice family time.
So my income, my rewards, my commitment is up to me!!

i like to work from home is because you don't have to be tied down from 9-5, sitting in the office. you have the freedom of time. you can go out once you're done with work and you can do your work at any time that's convenient to you.
