My wife still works outside the home and thankfully her commute is less than 4 miles. It used to be 35 miles each way. I on the other hand, enjoy my 14 step walk to work each day to my home office. :-) For us, it really is a quality of life and economic issue. We don't want to spend so much money on gas. The commute would cut into the quality time my wife and I could spend with each other. I prefer to work at home so the cats and our dog aren't missing their people when we both used to work 60 hour weeks. But earning a living from home is the wave of the future. The other commute gives me high blood pressure! LOL Great post. My wife still works outside the home and thankfully her commute is less than 4 miles. It used to be 35 miles each way.

Today's Wash Post had a story about Metro needing 220 more subway cars in order to meet the demand. And my friend since five is a writer who made a conscious choice to work at home (she is a writer) and be a part of her family's life on a fuller basis. I wonder what the percentages of 'success' are -- as Annette said, gas prices are probably going to put this idea into many more peoples minds.

It think the stress of everything like high gas prices, is really making people think twice about what really matters in life.

I know that alone has us driving a lot less and staying home and around the neighborhood a lot more. We're taking out our bikes this week too! Love it!
