i need a stay at home job

At-home jobs suck. Harder to socialize with your peers, often longer work hours than you would have at the office, and there's no clear separation between work time and leisure time.

They most certainly do not suck.

I work for myself, and I do precisely what I did when I was employed by others. I still meet with clients, I go out to eat with colleagues a few times per week, and I have a completely flexible schedule. Yes, there is less separation, but I work out of an office entirely separated from the rest of my house. I can go right into my kitchen and pull a fantastic espresso shot, and maybe take a break relaxing on my porch. The flexibility is priceless.

Anyway, I LOVE working for myself, and especially from home.

You're sooo lucky, Descartes. The savings in gas alone for me would be like a raise. 🙁 (Over $200.00 a month).

Yeah. I only fill up once a month or so, and when I do go out I get to expense $0.36/mile (since most of my traveling is business). There are many other fantastic tax benefits if you employ them properly. The key, in my opinion, is to have an office completely separate. I work outside sometimes (wifi), but it's really easy to get out of the work mode.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions on being self-employed, incorporating, working from home, consulting, etc., please feel free to PM me. I didn't have many resources when I started, so I'd love to help out others if possible.
