Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills,

insight and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while building a plan

for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua and today I want to share with you some ideas about the good and

bad of working from home, an honest analysis of the topic. I think this will serve you if you've ever

thought man I wish I had a different circumstance than I'm in right now and I know

for me the idea of working from home, the idea of an independent livelihood,

has been something that I wanted for years, literally since I was about 15 years old.

I've wanted to work from home.

I always had an image of a guy with a laptop being able to make a living.

I was in my middle teenage years during the time when it was first becoming more prominent

that some people were figuring out how to make their living at the end of a laptop

that was in the late 90s at that time and I remember being

intrigued and entranced by that particular topic. My brothers and I were very

interested in power of goal setting. I thought I would be able to take it in a year or two or a few

years. Unfortunately the Get Rich Quick courses that I bought and the How to Make a

billion dollars from your internet from your computer. A lot of that stuff didn't work out and it was a much more

circuitous route than I ever anticipated, but in time I did achieve it. However, just like

with many goals, I've learned that working from home can be built up to be well too much

of a utopia and it's really not it's really not a utopia. I can remember sitting in an office and just hating being there

and being very frustrated with being there and I thought the only solution was to be able to work from home.

And yet I'm here to share with you that's not the only solution.
