One of my biggest goals in life is to be able to live what is known as the location independent lifestyle. What does this mean?
It means that I can make a living from anywhere in the world and live anywhere I want for any amount of time. Not that I would necessarily want to live a completely nomadic lifestyle, but I just want the option of being able to go anywhere in the world and still make a very good living on my own.
There is so much out there and so little time!
That is one of the primary reasons I have chosen to become a trader. I can trade from almost anywhere in the world with an internet connection and even some places without internet.
As fun and grand as this sounds, there are some very serious practical considerations that must be taken into account before embarking on such a lifestyle. For example, say you live in the US but want to live in the South of France for 6 months. How will you get your mail? How will you access your money? How will you pay your bills? What kind of mobile phone will you need? How will you get internet access?
And the list goes on and on.
I’m not at the point where I need to be worrying about these things too much because I still need to reach my first goal of trading for a living, but it is something that I am keeping in the back of my mind and whenever I have a little free time, I read some articles about things that need to be taken into consideration.
There isn’t too much information out there, but there is enough to start my research and start building a knowledge base that will be ready when the day comes. I will let you know what I find in future posts.
Would you like to be location independent? If so, where are some of the places you would live? Feel free to leave a comment below.
