Outer Banks Real Estate Blog: Why do you go to work?

Why do you go to work?

Why do you go to work?

Financial gain certainly is the number one answer ... or is it? In real estate we can work for days on end without income (sometimes longer), so there should be little perks along the way for us.

I am so fortunate to have my office with Resort Realty facing the Currituck Sound in Duck NC. As I parked my car this morning here is what greeted me.

Isn't he magnificent! He tolerated me and camera for several minutes and about 50 shots at about 4 feet away. He must know how incredibly beautiful he is and just wanted to give me a thrill.

And ... as if this gorgeous bird wasn't enough, a nutria swam into the shot. He's to the right. What a day! I'm rich in all things.

Why do you go to work? I hope you have perks every day to enjoy as well Enjoy your holiday weekend and be safe where ever you go.

I go to work because I have my life goals that involve earning a living!

If you are happy, healthy, have family, you are rich. But in reality, not everyone is cut out for real estate either. Thanks for the images of all the beauty around you where you live in NC.

James, They are my favorite. After many years of sharing their space I still can't see them enough. Glad you like them as well.

Ralph, Great reason!

Andrew, I certainly agree with your ideas of wealth and success. You have the secret!

Hi Linda,  We also live and work in a resort area.  Our birdlife seems very much like yours and of course our world famous sunsets are amazing.

Bill, Isn't it wonderful to work and live in an area where others pay to come one week a year. I love sharing this place with our visitors and vacationers.

Have a safe holiday weekend!

I hate saying Great Post....but that really was.  Nice photos, and great inspiration.  I love my work (mostly). And, that is why I go to work....besides "work" is about twelve feet from bed....easy commute.....but then you have to stop at the Java Hut....which is a detour of about another 20 feet! and back to work with not nearly the scenic area you have!

Suzanne, Sometimes we must simply endure what life hands us. Sounds like your work surroundings are perfect. Hang in there!!!! It's possilbe the Java Hut could move a little closer.
