Is more easyer home, no costs for transportation, you can sleep more in the morning if you want, you can stay with kids in same time, you can eat all time just home made food...and why not you can work in your pajamas, if you want;
But in same time if you work out, you can know peoples, can socialize, can walk if you want, can eat in the city, can be with peoples;
so, you will choice, to work from home or from your office in the city?

my choice would be to work at home. i have plenty of friends to where i can just socialize with them at home online. so many of my friends live all over the place, so it doesn't make a difference. i rather work in my own environment and be comfortable. it would be really great to save money on gas and food and other things that deal with working out of an office. i'm not sure if that's everyone's choice but that's mine. i don't even have kids that i want to stay at home and take care of but i rather be able to be at home when my husband comes home from work and not worry about being away from him. i'm away from enough when he leaves for work each day.

I would like to be able to do both when I wanted. I like working from home but like to be around people too. I want the best of both worlds.

I would work outside the home. I actually have chosen this. That way there are clear boundaries about when I work and when I am free.

If I had my own business and made more money, then it might be nice to be able to rent some office space. On the other hand, one could save money by working from home, and not paying rent for the extra space, as long as one could keep their home office space organized.

Hi, icesmile!
If I can have fixed income working from home, then, I prefer to stay at and work from home. At least I don't have to deal with the office politics and some of the staff who have attitude problem like at my previous working place. However, working outside can also balance out my social life and see my career development. So, they both have the advantages, but of course working from home will save us a lot of expenses.

Hi, Ice!
I'm afraid, if I were able to work from home, I'd never get anything done. There are too many distractions...

I would choose to work at home, because I have more freedom that way, and I can decide when I want to work. When I have plans during the day I can work at night, and that kind of flexibility is important to me. If I work in an office I have to go to work at a certain time, and I don't have the same kind of freedom. On the other hard there are some postitive things about working in an office for instanse the chance to socialize and talk to other people, and I sometimes miss that part when I am working at home.

I would like to work from home or have my own business. Working in my own office would be good. But its hard to get such a work or business. No harm in trying to achieve it though.

I would rather work at home instead at an office. I could work when I wanted to and would not have to worry about getting to the office on time. You can still socialize with friends as you set your own time to work and you can always go out for a walk when you want too.

I'd do both if I could, although I suppose home. Since if you work at home, no one could stop you from going out for a while and eating somewhere, or socializing.
