A woman sits at a desk with a worried expression, looking at a stack of bills in front of her. The bills are labeled with amounts for "ELECTRIC COMPANY" ($285.75), "HIGH-SPEED INTERNET" ($120.55), and "WATER & SEWER" ($120.50, listed twice). A hand holds a calculator nearby, with a computer monitor displaying a spreadsheet in the background.

Remote jobs are often marketed as the dream lifestyle, freedom to work from anywhere, no commute, and the comfort of home. At first glance, it seems like a financial win.
