Child care, clothing, dry cleaning, car insurance & maintenance, parking, gym membership, eating out all add up. Oh yeah, gas too.

  You need to pay for a gym membership to return to office?

    For a lot of people, their companies don't pay for a gym membership or don't have an office gym, and if the gym is part of their lifestyle not working from home means needing a gym membership in the city near the office. The logic is pretty simple, if you are going to be stuck in rush hour commute home for 2 hours or you can walk to a city gym and work out for an hour, then jump into your commute and be home in an hour and 45 minutes, so it costs you 45 minutes of total time for 1 hour of gym time + you arrive home to take a shower and get ready for the evening vs trying to work out after the drain of a commute. Meanwhile if you work from home, you can afford the space to have a home gym that you can use whenever you have time and don't need the drain of the commute at all, because you live farther from the city.

      > commute home for 2 hours That sounds like a nightmare. > work out for an hour, then jump into your commute and be home in an hour and 45 minutes Still terrible. > 1 hour of gym time + you arrive home to take a shower 1h45m of sweaty commute after 1h of gym? I don't think so.

      Very well said. Don't even need a home gym at home, you can do bodyweight workouts, go for a run etc. Good luck doing that in many offices, rare to find even showers there.
