Not having to go to an office affords people a lot of freedom and autonomy. Imagine working in your pajamas! If you need to take off to get your kids for an activity, you can do that without having to call your boss and arrange to leave the office. Your attendance is up to you as you set your own hours. Often, you can leave the computer for a spell to get things done and then return to work when you are ready.

You can also be your own boss. Expand your business as you see fit. No one can restrict your decisions or tell you what to do with your work. This does not apply if you work online for a company, but it does apply if you are a freelancer or have your own online business.

U.S.-Iran deal is ultimately possible because Iran needs money
Washington and Tehran will ultimately be able to strike a nuclear agreement because Iran needs relief from economic sanctions, according to a senior advisor at a U.S. think tank.
"I think, ultimately, a deal is possible because the Iranians need money," said Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
The U.S. and Iran both appear interested to return to the negotiating table, but have not been able to agree on who should make the first move. The Biden administration last week offered to begin talks with Tehran, but Iran has repeatedly stressed that the U.S. must lift sanctions to kickstart the process. Washington has resisted those calls so far.

OPINION | Millennial Money: Turn your quarantine clutter into money
My front porch was filled with boxes containing all sorts of things: furniture (I needed to redecorate), paper towels (I needed to stock up), crafts (I needed activities), board games (more activities) and a treadmill (I needed exercise).

Take a look around your place. If your quarantine habits were even a tiny bit like mine, you could turn that clutter into money. Here's how.
Perhaps you purchased more than you ended up using, like board games or video games. Or maybe you bought new products to replace old items and were left with a drawer of discarded technology.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Can money buy happiness? // The Observer
In a class this week, the idea of money being capable of buying happiness was brought up. When the professor posed this question, a student responded that money could not buy happiness. The professor then commented on her large Canada Goose winter coat and asked the student if they would be unhappy going outside without it, in the freezing February weather.
When money is a concern, it dominates the front of your mind, keeping you on edge in case of unexpected or costly situations. Budgeting and planning become essential not to grow an investment portfolio or pay for fancy things, but to pay the rent, keep the lights on and purchase meals. With physiological and safety needs not guaranteed, there cannot be peace of mind.

Underfunded state department forced to use PA taxpayer money to fill in gaps | WKBN.com
(WKBN) – The Pennsylvania Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement is running out of money. For the first time since it was created in 1893, the department is having to rely on taxpayer dollars.
* * *
The bureau’s money comes from its licensure fees. Right now, the current fee is $6.50 for spayed or neutered pets and $2 more if they aren’t fixed. Pennsylvania hasn’t raised that fee in 25 years.
Since the bureau started, their funding had been entirely covered by those fees, but this is now the second year that more than a million dollars had to be diverted from other funds to help fill the gap.
