I've been working from home for more than 15 years, primarily because of a medical condition but also because I just hate punching a clock. I love working for myself and hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future but it isn't easy.

I can't just work whenever I want to, I have to work as much as I need to in order to be able to meet my financial obligations.

I'm a morning person and I can arrange my work schedule so that I work in the morning and afternoon and never have to work at night. But if I take time off to go on vacation my income (except for the residual income which I am currently working long hours to build) takes a nose dive.

This is the first time I have visited your blog, but it won't be the last. I will be back to look for the answer to a question I have about how you manage to survive economically, Everette.

You moved from one high cost of living area to another.

I live in a lower cost of living area than you do. But I still find it difficult to pay a mortgage and keep the lights on and all that. When you add in having to buy your own medical insurance, it's expensive NOT to have a job.

You make it sound easier in this post than I have found it to be. Perhaps I've missed something. I'll be reading your other posts to see if I can discover what you know that I obviously don't.

I wish you continued success in your lifestyle choice.
