I've worked from home for ~8 years now, and i'd work for myself no problem - if not for one thing. Lack of stability. If i could have stability i'd do it no problem - i don't mind the isolation. Granted, i still have a social circle at work - even though it's remote work, i don't think i'd mind finding another social circle.

I just don't want a "work for myself" lifestyle that's client to client. Unpredictable, variable, etc. I want to know (as best i can) what my next 12 months will be.

The possibility of a dry spell of clients would keep me up at night.
