That's money being wasted on redundancy.
I get what you're saying that most folks just aren't disciplined to go to "work". (though for people like me...I can't WAIT to go to work everyday, I love it)
But to say it's only gonna be around $600 a month just isn't so.
Also when you first move in to that office...you're going to have to spend days just getting it all set up right.
I don't think that most self-employed succesful people who do not have a bunch of employees really have any trouble with self-discipline and getting things done.
Most of them are work-a-holic A-type personalities.
Employees on the other hand...they absolutely need that.

Actually I was not even saying that whole $600 would go towards rent, $300/month included utilities would be enough for most of the world including many US towns.
I am talking about one man operations (webmaster, designer, affiliate etc) where you would need 10-12 square meter office cabinet. I am not talking about "something nice", I only imagine what do you have in mind there.
BUT - these numbers were just random, to show a point that extra income would cover office rent. So let's not get into the numbers as they were just to illustrate the point and were actually random.
As for "not having trouble with discipline", trust me, ABSOLUTE MAJORITY of them do. At the very least 80%, in reality 90%+.
Everybody I know who moved to office immediately started being way more productive and 15% extra is just very small number, many of them did twice as much as they used to do from home.
