9 Reasons to Work at Home

Stephanie writes about her top 9 reasons for working at home:

Save on Gas
No Commute
More Flexible Schedule (watch out that this doesn’t become a crutch for you - you still have to be disciplined about your work schedule and habits in order to be successful)
No Boss Staring Down Your Shoulder (as Stephanie notes, this is only a good thing if you can be productive without the presence of your boss)
More Family Time
Simpler Wardrobe (I think that this depends on what industry you are in and what you would have worn had you gone into the office. Personally, I wear the same thing at home as I would in the office, and I think that it is important not to work in your pajamas, in order to get into the right mindset)
The ability to follow your dreams (if you are running a business from home…though if you are, then I guess you aren’t really telecommuting, are you?)
Save on Lunch (if you would eat out often at work and don’t order take out at home, this can be a big hidden savings)
Flexibility on office setup (this can also be a negative, as the office might have someone in charge of making sure that office supplies are stocked, light bulbs are in, etc - at home it’s all up to you)
