I started working from home following a heart attack and open heart surgery at the end of 2018. 2019 was one complication after another, but I was finally cleared to return to the office in 2020 - just in time to go back home for covid.
This month is 5 years WFH. I drive 1 day a week for groceries, prescriptions, and comic books.
After doing it for 3 years, I had saved enough money to buy a house. Got that sweet 3.25% interest rate too!
So, yeah, bad for commercial real estate, for me it was pretty good for residential real estate. ;)

I’ve been fully wfh since 2015. I do miss the social interactions but I’m much more productive at home.
