If you have the money, there can be some nice tax advantages to owning the building where you have your office.

Personally, unless I wanted to buy an office buidling as an investment, I would never get an office just for myself. I'd only get an office if I had enough employees or so many distractions where working from home wasn't feasible.

Over ten years think about how much money you would have if you had invested the equivalent of rent payments instead in a no-load index fund.

If you are bored at home it might be cheaper to get a pet or two to keep you company or join some clubs.
