There are huge benefits to being self-employed, which out-weight the risks, I think. The best benefit is the flexibility in schedule. I recall the days of commuting and having to be at work on time. It was fine, it was routine but it was not flexible.
We work a lot but the flexibility allows us to fit fun into little slots of time. I enjoy the little slots of time we can take to enjoy life and the area where we live.
I had to go to Portsmouth to get my laptop repaired so we worked in a quick jaunt to downtown and the beach. It is wonderful that NH has these great places. The few hours were like a mini-vacation.
