    Seriously… I’d kill for a WFB job, even a WFF job but no one seems to want to build businesses out in the forest either…

    Joking aside, it’s literally why I can’t move out of my HCOL area… The affordable places are affordable because they’re summer homes/winter getaways… There’s no work near them whatsoever. :/

      I’ve had WFB jobs for the last decade or so. It’s super nice. You know those meetings where they have way too many people in a conference room and it’s after lunch so you smell everyone’s hot breath while some VP’s jerk each other off? Those are much nicer from the seat of a riding lawn mower with a beer in hand.

        That does sound amazing, but unfortunately I’m a worthless factory schmuck so I won’t ever know the joys of a WFH position. I guess a small benefit is that I don’t have to deal with hot breath meetings though lol

      Yep. It’s always either take the lower paying job that comes with the lower cost of living, or commit to a horrible commute that will suck the will to live from your body within about 3 weeks just as much as being flat broke does.
