Exactly! Over the last 2 years, I've rekindled my love of making music. I hadn't written any new music in over 20 years, and in the last 2 years, I've written something like 20 songs, and spent time archiving and restoring some older tapes I have. Stuff that would have been lost without the extra time. I now spend about 45-60 minutes every night just making music. It doesn't bother my spouse because they see me far more often since I'm working from home. Once I have to go back into the office, that's 60 minutes of my day spent commuting, and 8-9 hours not seeing my spouse. I'm not sure I'll have any time for music anymore. And having that outlet is helping to keep me sane.
Clearly life is better for you and your spouse with you working remotely. So stick to that plan, even if you have to pass up some lucrative onsite offers in the future. Quality of life beats pay!
