I've been working remote for a year now and don't think I can go back to working in an office 5 days a week. The lifestyle flexibility to take care of things around the house and run errands throughout the day while still getting my work done is incredibly satisfying. If I need to run across town to run an errand, I can hop into a coffee shop and get a few hours of work done while I'm out.
I don't sit in traffic for two hours anymore so I have more time with my family and less time burning fossil fuels.
My wife also works from home so I don't feel the loneliness aspect of it as much as others do. Having the dog around helps with that too. I also recently discovered Out Of Office[0], which promotes "work clubs" for remote workers to get together during the day and work together, so I'm looking forward to checking that out.
