One way to do this is to use file variables to change the value of
org-attach-directory. This works particularly well when you use just a few
org files as in your case.

For instance, you could put
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Local Variables:
# org-attach-directory: "~/org/data/personal"
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in your personal.org file and 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Local Variables:
# org-attach-directory: "~/org/data/work"
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in your work.org file.
