Owning your own home

I think they make perfect sense if:

1. There's more than one person working at home at a time / there are physically no rooms in your house capable of housing an office already
   
2. You work from home enough to justify the expense
   
   

We had a sofa in ours too and the reality is that it was never used as a hangout space because it was a pain in the arse to keep going to and from the house. As a working space, it makes perfect sense as a way of separating your work life from your home life.
