I’ve been working from home for more than a year now and I’m quite happy about it. The income is good – in fact, home based jobs are lucrative and you can actually have fun because you will get to meet a lot of people (virtually) and learn a lot of new stuff. I love the thought of not leaving home and experience the traffic, pollution and other stressful events in the outside world. I don’t have to dress up and I don’t have to spend money on food, fare and clothes/office attire. I’ve worked at a company in Manila for two years before and trust me, this is way better than the work I had. I’m not yet financially free but I finally got the opportunity to save money and finally invested into something BIG (it takes a lot more than that – I could say that I am when I earn my first million and I have “passive income”). It’s good that I was able to earn 5x more than before and I get to enjoy it TAX-FREE! Another good thing about this is that I can take my work anywhere! I could hang out at a coffee shop if I want to be in a different environment, I could go to a friend’s house, and I could be at a cruise ship or just about anywhere other than my own house! Like what I heard from a webinar before, “Just give me a laptop and cell phone and I’m in business!” This is actually true because it doesn’t require too many stuff from you. All you need is the necessary skill, determination and willingness to learn (and of course, a laptop and cell phone).
