Hi guys, I was just wondering if any of you could provide some advice and tips on developing a location independent lifestyle? It's something I've always dreamt of and ever since university the more I slave away in an office in front of a computer, the more apparent it is to me how much I want that kind of lifestyle. It's ironic how your fed so much crap at a young age, go through university, get a good job, pension, you know the drill.
I am currently 24 and work in banking in the UK, I could try and become a trader but there are no guarantees. I don't really have a lot of capital behind me at the moment, although I am trying to save bit by bit - I understand this is the most important aspect. I have been reading the '4 hour work week' by Tim Ferris which is an interesting read and gives some useful advice, although seems to be sensationalised. I want to get a perspective from guys who have been there and done that. I think ideally I would invest in property and want to be able to develop something that gives me a 'hands-free income.' I recently came back from Colombia, and I loved the country and the women, I want to experience things like this on a regular basis and not just my alloted 25 days holiday a year. My questions would be:
- Why did you decide to pursue this lifestyle?
- How do you sustain it?
That sort of thing...Any stuff would be appreciated.
