own apartment:<br>
<br>
- you can wear whatever you want at home (or nothing)<br>
- you can have nice things and not have them ruined. Hello $150 chefs knife!<br>
- Your internet is fast and not borked and always works.<br>
- You can have as nice or not of things as you'd like without arguing<br>
with people endlessly about STUFF.<br>
- You can have a very comfortable bed and have more restful sleep<br>
- You can be as warm or cold as you'd like without having to put on<br>
more/less clothes/blankets/etc<br>
- You can use your home as a place of work as well<br>
- If you have a SO you can engage in any behaviour any time of day/night<br>
<br>
Even a budding entrepreneur as yourself must realize the importance of<br>
'down time' and proper restful sleep to promote a better work and<br>
overall life.<br>
