Home Office Setup

Now, that's a nice, neat and organized desk! Just what you and I need on our journey to retirement - to start to declutter our stuff and get down to business working on the future!

Today I've been working in my home office and after years of having a home based business, I realized that my office could be much better organized and I think I could get a lot more accomplished if it were. Much of what I need to do is get rid of things I no longer need. I do keep lots of magazines, books, journals as well as products, gift baskets and all the goodies that go inside and boxes for shipping orders.

I'll be spending this week reorganizing my office so that I can be much more productive and in the meantime, thought that this article on Home Office Setup would be helpful to you if you're in need of some office set up or organization.

The Tax Benefits of a Home Based Business is part of my Journey to Retirement

 One of the reasons that I'll always keep my home based business is the great tax benefits it gives me. It's not only a business I've loved for 25 years, it helps men and women find and use the best skin care, personal care, household and wellness products, it's fun, it's easy if I'm consistently working a little at a time, I get wholesale prices for my own products and yes, those tax deductions!

There are so many things we buy on a regular basis for a home office and unless you have a home based business, you can't take a deduction for paper, computers, printers, fax machines, staplers and all those general office supplies. Here's more information on the tax benefits of a home based business that might have you considering adding something like it to your journey to retirement too.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
