For many people, working from home is a dream. Others, though, don’t really enjoy working from home. I enjoy working from home, and am glad that I have a career that allows me to do that. My husband, on the other hand, doesn’t enjoy working from home nearly as much.

Others simple block out time where they are working, making sure that their kids are taken care of during this time. I do most of my work while my son is at school and my husband is at university, teaching his classes. Without these distractions, it’s much easier to finish my work. What works for you?

With the Prius as our main car for my husband’s commute to work (I work from home) and our main errand and travel car, it’s easy to save up. Although I expect loss due to depreciation to be less of a cost, since Outbacks tend to hold their value fairly well.) What do you think?
