I love working from home. It's all I've dreamed of doing. I hated when my company moved me into an office. I've been doing it for the better part of my work career... same job: 2012 - 2014: worked from home. 2014 - 2019: worked in an office. 2020 - 2023+: working from home. 2020 COVID pulled everyone back home. My boss recently asked me if I wanted to go back into the office and I told her that I refused. They couldn't pay me enough to return to the office. In all honesty, I'd need to see at least double my current salary + half to even consider it. And considering my company cut my pay and blamed it on COVID, I know that's not going to happen. My schedule: Wake up. Do a few things around the house. Run errands. Have my laptop with me that allows me to connect anywhere I am, no matter what state I am in, as long as T-Mobile is available. If I return home, I'm watching Netflix or any of the many shows available on Roku. The worst thing I'd say it doesn't allow me to socialize, but I wasn't doing that in the office anyway. My coworkers barely say two words to me online unless they need something. Why would it be any different in an office? So enjoy your remote life. Use it to your advantage. Go travel. Some days, I've woken up near or on a coast at beach and even worked on the beach. Other days, I've hiked a mountain and returned to my car and I'm working in my car. I bought a solar power generator which can give me 5 - 7 charges and an additional mini one which gives about 1-2 charges for my laptop battery needs. I've gone to visit family, house sat for family, and visited friends. It's all in what you want to do with your time. I'm even renting out a few rooms in my house to make some extra income. And I'm home so I can keep an eye on my roommates. I mean the other way to look at it: I'm paying a mortgage. Why would I want to pay a mortgage, only to go sit in an office all day? Why not get more usage out of my house so that paying my mortgage actually means something? Enjoy the opportunity!
