I am really pleased that I made a decision last year to take an office (although I sometimes fret about paying two rents). It is really good for me to be able to mentally and physically seperate work from home - to not work until I have got dressed and prepared for the day and to have a definitive point at which I stop work. It also means that i get to see people every day - even if in the most fleeting sense and helps banish that feeling of isolation that home workers can often expereince. And it also feels as if gives my business a certain legitimacy.
Since I moved flat my office is so close to where I live that it is now possible to go home for lunch, do a household chore or even have a siesta (or power nap as they are becoming known in today's achievement culture).
Financial security may still be some way away but my quality of life ranks quite high. And finally I have the satisfaction of knowing that my carbon budget must rank among the lowest of anybody in the working population. Need carbon credits? I'll sell you some of mine :-)

Wow, that even beats my five minute cycle to work! Looks like you definitely made the right decision.
