A Home That Lets You Work as Well

According to Forbes, by the end of 2017, 75% of professionals will be working in their pajamas instead of putting on a suit and driving off to office every day. Companies like Ernst & Young and Accenture already have more than two-thirds of their employees working from home. This trend is steadily infiltrating the corporate world, and offers several advantages to both employees and their employer.

With technology becoming a big part of modern day work processes, all one needs is a laptop and a good Internet connection to communicate, team up and drive productivity. Employers are allowing remote working not only to make employees more comfortable with how they work — it is also saving them a lot in infrastructure investment. At the same time:

Many professionals are ditching their corporate jobs to start their own businesses

More and more companies are looking for consultants instead of permanent employees

Freelancing has spread across all industries, be it technology or art. Gen X professionals enjoy the benefit of working in their own terms, and getting engaged in projects that they hold expertise in and have a passion for.

This change in work culture has also affected the priorities of young professionals looking for homes.

What Drives Us to Invest?

I had made the journey from economics to finance. As part of Keynesian economics, we were taught about the three motives to hold money: the transactions motive, the precautionary motive and the speculative motive; all through my teaching career that remained part of my Keynesian economics. But two decades, later when I immersed myself into the world of investment, I had to develop my own tools to understand the new discipline and make my investors understand the working of their own minds. One night as lay turning on my back, poring over the day’s happenings, suddenly I made a strong connection between what I had studied years back and the problem I was grappling with now: the motives.
