It's clear that nowadays, more and more people are opting to make money from home. The Internet has made major changes in the way we interact personally and professionally, and it seems that it is no longer necessary for an employer and an employee to share the same physical space - all that's needed to make a connection between them is essentially one mouse click. It's a much smaller world. Earlier, women with young children usually chose to make money from home, but now even men do the same - running a Small Or Home Office (SOHO). Employees like telecommuters, freelancers, business owners can make money from home, and Internet-based industries like audiotape transcription, data processing and entry, online tutorials, freelance designing and writing, etc. can also make money from home.

The Boston Federal Reserve Bank has studied a couple of the leading causes of foreclosures across the nation, and neither of these causes are the often-cited "unaffordable mortgage payments" due to resetting loans. The two main causes of the high foreclosure rate and failure of loan modification programs are declines in home values and job loss.The real estate bubble encouraged speculation and buying of homes (or second and third homes) as investments. Now that values have fallen in the most overheated markets, homeowners are more than willing to walk away from a losing investment than to keep making payments, whether they can afford them or not.The fall in prices has always been a drawback of government plans to address the foreclosure crisis. Many of these plans have required lenders to mark down mortgages to be in line with current property values, forcing the banks to recognize large losses just to unload a home that may face foreclosure. But the banks have been unwilling to acknowledge these falls in value, opting for foreclosure and bailouts instead.Also, the government plans to help borrowers can not address the problem of speculators who took out mortgages hoping for 20 or...more
