I've had soooo many people that I've told I work out of my home for a living are envious, and they picture it must be like those tv commercials that people sit by a pool and say "I made 5,000 yesterday."
When you tell them you work at a computer 8 - 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you haven't had a vacation longer then a day or two in like....oh 10 years, and how much you pay for health insurance because you are self employed, and every month you wonder if you'll get enough in the door to pay the bills, they start wanting to do it less.
I also tell them you have to be disciplined enough to work every day and get a certain amount done and they look at me like I've grown horns.
There aren't a lot that can do what we do, because they need to have some pathetic boss telling them what to do, how to do it, when to take a break, and when to eat. If they had the freedom we do, they'd starve to death because they'd never have the drive to work without someone else scheduling their day.
