I enjoyed reading James Scurlock's "Maxed Out", but I think he is being just plain snarky in this article. It sounds like a personal attack on Suze Orman. No financial advisor/writer gets it right every time, but I do seem to recall Suze warning more than a few years ago about the dangers of pulling equity out of your home. It was her words I remembered when we re-fied despite all the pressure from the broker to take out "just a little bit more". Thank God we are not seriously upside-down in our mortgage today.

I agree. I work from my own home office and love it. I am not getting rich but able to support my family and live comfortably and that is all that counts for me. I also didn't have to pay all those high gas prices when it was so bad because I was home. So all in all I feel fortunate and besides I don't like to fly much so I am not gonna buy a jet even if I do hit the jackpot!

I concur about what you said. IMO, working at home has so many more benefits than a brick and mortar job. Even if you make less money it doesn't matter because if you love your job, you won't work a day in your life!

Dude-

You are so right and to be honest I bring home more then I did outside the house from a job I had worked outside the house and on top of that I am spending no day care expenses, gas money or eating out money.


What all kinds of things have you done from home? And where do you get your leads for work. I use a great database that called Jobs Based From Home. Have you heard of them?

I actually am looking for more work from home because my company recently had to cut hours for customer service and now I need more work soon. I don't think I've heard of Jobs Based From Home. What is it and did you get good results from it? Any advice would be great.

Dude-

Yes I get GREAT results from Jobs Based From Home. They have over 3000 work from home resources that will give you everything from where to look for a job to what office equip is needed, writing a good resume and evaluating your skills and what questions to ask an employer during an interview. To be honest this is just a few of the things you will find in the e-book and if there is something that you can not find they have live professional customer service help.

Due to this book I am able to work full-time from my own home office and make a full-time income. Each morning when I get up I thank my l ucky stars for the opportunity this book has given me.

Let me know how things turn out for you!
