Do You REALLY Want to Work From Home?
When you hang out in the personal finance blogosphere, or the digital nomad niche, you never run out of articles to read about self-employment, passive income, and making money online.
It seems that everyone is either earning a full-time living from home, quitting a job, contemplating quitting a job, or starting a new enterprise in hopes of striking it rich.
After 3 years of economic turmoil, more and more people (not just bloggers) are desperate for a way to quit the rat race.
Ever since I quit my job many years ago to be a full-time blogger, I’ve become the sounding board for all the people in my life who long for a self-employed lifestyle. And things picked up a lot lately.
Few people understand the awkward position I was in (and the totally insane leap I took) when I left my career.
I was NOT financially prepared.
I wasn’t even dying to become self-employed.
If I could have found another job in my field, there’s no way I would be self-employed right now. But a lot of things happened and I made the best decision I could at the time.
Through some miracle — knock on wood — it has worked out so far and I’m very happy. That doesn’t mean everyone can (or should) work from home.
