Working from home can be a great alternative to a desk in a cubicle, but, as many people who try it will tell you, it isn't as easy as slapping your laptop down on the dining room table. And, while wearing pajamas all day might sound nice, it doesn't make the cut for many who work from home. Still, whether you embrace the romantic-sounding ideals of managing a home office or not, one thing remains true: It can be way greener than commuting to an office every day.

We have noted before that studies show that working from home is really greener, and have provided a comprehensive guide for doing it. But in these times when we are watching every penny, how can it save us (or make us) more money? Here are 10 ways it can help.

Lets get real, times are tough and a lot of people are losing their jobs. A lot of people are looking at their options, and one of them is working from home and working on your own or on a startup of some kind. One might think that it is a crappy time to start a new career.
