This will really depend on you and your home life to be honest.

I've been working from home for more than a year (with some half year stints before) and I can't imagine going back to an office. I have my kid to play with and my wife to talk with if I need to. I also chat with co-workers online but if I really want to talk to people, I can always pick my laptop and go to a cafe, gym, mall even. I wake up at around the same time everyday (well, kid is my alarm clock), do the normal morning chores with the family, then start working. I can (and do) stop every so often and do some exercise or sometimes just stop and read a bit of a book if the weather is nice outside. I'm always on time for dinner since I'm the one that cooks it, and I put my kid to bed everyday. The fact I work from home could have been an excuse to not care about schedules, slack of on the personal hygiene/appearance, but I didn't and as I said, I would probably take a large payout over going to an office again.

I think, and to be fully honest, whenever I worked in an office, I would say I actually enjoyed the company of 2-3 people and the rest were a bother (to me) and I couldn't really go: "John, no you can't come for coffee because people don't like talking to you" so having my family, some friends (have a few that also work from home living nearby) and ability to talk to random strangers gives me all the socialising I need.
