WORLD POLITICS NOW ALL TOP NEWS
Mankind has always been a nomadic species. In our earliest years, we roamed freely from one region to the next, tracking the stars and following the seasons in an effort to hunt, gather and protect our tribes and families from vicious predators. Before the birth of modern civilization, it was commonplace to move about across wide ranges and territories, covering swaths of land and sea from hundreds to thousands of miles apart.
However, as modern society has dawned, and the proverbial rat race has gripped most in a state of the survival of the fittest, and the hedonistic pleasures and impulses to satisfy our sudden urges to keep up with the Jones’ have amplified with each passing decade, the ensuing Hedonic Treadmill has stifled and suffocated most that dream of greener pastures and a life of leisure.
The truth? We spend a lot of our time, energy and financial resources paying for that which we’ve already acquired. And why not? We’re living the American Dream, aren’t we? Get it now and pay for it later. That’s always been the motto. However, it’s that mentality that’s driven a large part of the population into a state of compliance and complacency, unable to extricate themselves from the shackles of debt and their 9-to-5 obligations
Most want to break free of that. Most want to set out on an adventure and explore the world, soaring their wild oats across one continent or the next. They want to bask in the glory of white-sugary-sanded beaches replete with coconut groves and distant horizons filled with shimmering turquoise waters. They want to throw caution to the wind, pack their bags and set out to traverse the planet, taking the ultimate expedition.
However, this isn’t about some simple vacation . This isn’t about taking a temporary reprieve from your obligations and setting out for a few days or even a few weeks. True freedom resides in being able to travel the world by becoming a digital nomad, having no boundaries or borders to abide to, while being able to live and work from anywhere in the world. To most, that is the ultimate goal — the pinnacle in life.
If you’re one of those that dream of the nomadic lifestyle, you’re not alone. But achieving the ability to set out a long-term trip in a far-off land while working as a digital nomad is no easy feat. Unless you’re financially free and are completely living off passive income right now, you’ll need to find a way to make ends meet. The good news? While becoming a digital nomad might seem out of reach to most, it’s actually a rather straightforward goal to accomplish.
How to Become a Digital Nomad
Traveling the globe over the past decade, I’ve become somewhat of a travel sleuth — a pure wanderlust, dead-set on experiencing life outside of my comfort zone, able and willing to travel, roaming free as a bird. But achieving the ability to do that was quite difficult. It meant that I had to experience a tremendous amount of pain if I was serious about living a life of leisure.
In order to achieve my travel dreams, I knew I had to live off of passive income. I didn’t quite know how I was going to do it; I just knew that I was going to do it. No matter what it took, that was the bigger picture for me. And it’s the bigger picture for many people out there.
Passive income, by far, is the most important financial tool that will afford you the freedom to not only receive income automatically, every single month, without fail, but it’ll also give you the means to have a flexible schedule to spend time with your family and children or wander the world as a digital nomad, choosing to work when you please, on your own schedule.
