Thanks for the comment Sharon!

More and more people seem to feel they are entitled to high salaries doing fun things with low work hours. It doesn’t work that way. Remuneration comes from creating value for others. If you can live abroad and require less to live on, then sure, work as little as you like.

Everyone needs a sabbatical or break so it is great to have short bursts of extreme fun and relaxation. However, that gets boring quickly. Working to serve others is the only way to get real satisfaction out of life in my opinion. It could be from parenting, art, business or whatever you want. Work is good in my opinion.

Thanks for reading Cody!

These are exciting times. It is sad that governments are going to be at least a decade behind on making substantial changes to accommodate the international flow of location independent professionals. Visas should not be so complicated in the 21st century.

“Work is to trade your time for money” – exactly, and you have to make sure that the trade suits you. Living in a place where your money goes further can also help you get the best from this exchange.

I agree with you man! As much as I love the US, I try to think of myself as a citizen of the world, not so much affiliated with one national group, political group, or religious group. Governments are going to have to catch up to us one day and start opening up the physical borders to the truly nomadic, free lifestyle. But of course they’re not gonna want to, because then they’d have little power over the individual!

Love this post John! Stumbled.
