Why Work at Home? I'll tell you!

No holds barred, quick insight on working at home from an expert.

The Top 5 Reasons to Work at Home 

  1. Spend more time with your family. Life is short, children grow up fast. All the time you spend driving could be better spent making sweet memories. Plant flowers, bake cookies, fold clothes. Before you know it, they will be all grown up.
  2. Save on fuel, wear and tear on your car. This one is pretty clear. Remember when gas was over $4 a gallon? I was at home, filling up my car once every 2 weeks. Fewer miles, means fewer oil changes. Also, if your car spends most of its time in the driveway, most insurance companies will lower your rates. Sweet!
  3. No nosy co-workers -- Need I say more?
  4. Work in your pajamas. Cost savings here? No clothing budget, no dry cleaning budget, no make up budget..get the picture?
  5. Arrive early, arrive late, work at your own pace. Many companies will allow you to set your own schedule. Like to sleep in late? No problem! Like to get up early? Do it!

How to find a home based job 

Where exactly are these jobs?

Any company that has a toll free number may have home based jobs. I have heard rumors that McDonald's is beginning to take your orders via a home based order taker. How wild is that?

New Donations 

Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-led nonprofit that encompasses over 20 different teams and programs. They send letters, care packages, and comfort items to deployed American service members, and we support their families here at home.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Soldiers Angels from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
