FIRE, Financial Independence Retire Early, makes you cancel proof.
Never have to do a job you don't want to do, never sacrifice your principles at work because you need the money, never act badly to your friends because of money.
FIRE enables all of this.

I've met so many travellers who put all their stuff in storage then travel, and keep travelling. It's easy to slip into this but ultimately storage is almost always stupid.
You can buy more stuff, but in reality you probably don't need it anyway.

The large recent recovery in the stock market is insane - we're about to enter probably the biggest depression in human history, making the Great Depression of the 1930s look like a birthday present.

I run through my simple rules here, please feedback and let me know if you think I'm wrong.

There are 2 main options for Digital Nomads.
You can keep moving, probably as a backpacker staying in hostels. Or you can stay in one place overseas for a while.
Fact is many Digital Nomads, including me, do a mix of both.

The biggest recommendation I'd make about travel - specially long term travel, is probably travelling light.
Almost nobody ever wishes they'd brought MORE stuff travelling with them. Almost anything you don't bring can be bought while you travel but trust me, you probably won't need it.

Welcome to the Digital Nomad on FIRE podcast.
What's a Digital Nomad? Somebody who can live and work freely.
What's FIRE? Financial Independence Retire Early - it's a movement around strategies for saving enough money to retire in a handful of years - using radical solutions to both earn more and spend less.
The two movements work well together....
