1. Big Savings On Daycare Costs

According to the Children’s Defense Fund and Runzheimer International parents are paying an average of $250 to $1,250 monthly for daycare. A mother who is making about $20,000 a year will probably find that she is really only bringing home only $5000 a year once all the additional costs of her working are figured in. Some moms are actually loosing money each month by working outside the home.

2. No More Bosses Giving You the Stink Eye For Not Working Due To Kid Issues

There’s nothing worse when your daycare provider tells you that your kid is sick and they can’t watch them because of it. So there you go, having to take time off work as your boss and coworkers resent you and your chances of promotion becomes slimmer and slimmer because you can’t be counted on all the time.

3. No Commuting

No more commuting when you work from home. No long drives, bad traffic, added expenses for car upkeep (car upkeep costs about $250 a month on average). You can simply wake up in the morning and walk a few feet to your home office.

4. Savings on Lunches Out and Work Clothes

Between eating out and buying uniforms or clothes for work (even if you don’t have to wear a uniform) you are looking at paying about $145 a month. Nice thing about working at home and being your own boss is you can decide what you want to wear to work.
