------------Preface
Before you can start working from home you need to take the following steps:
1.You need to open a checking account to ensure you are paid.
--You should pick a bank with no checking account fees, and a free debit card plan.
--Local Credit Unions are good for this; however, checks will take a longer time to clear with most.
--As an independent contractor you will be listed as a business under U.S. tax law and will need to file
---taxes as such.  You should consult information at irs.gov
--You should not be using Paypal to get paid.
----Paypal is not a bank and is not regulated via the federal safeguards on banking institutions.
----Paypal can seize all of the money in your accounts, and deny you access to transfer.
----Paypal charges insanely high fees per transfer.

2.Get on a decent sleep schedule.
