You lost me at the kids. All fine and dandy if somebody wants to do van life but if you have kids you should just stay the fuck away from that lifestyle
based. I used to work remotely and had some idea that my dream was to become a digital nomad, I wanted to go to some third world country and exploit poor people for cheap labor. Somehow that was my dream
Eventually I realized how miserable remote work actually was. It's miserable to sit outside and try to work, you just end up not doing work which stresses you out. I also stagnated in my career, because I wasn't sitting down to focus on actually improving. It's also lonely, especially being a digital nomad. White privilege only gets you so far, eventually it wears you out to be in a country where you don't speak the language. And even if you sit at home to work remotely it's still miserable because you're simply not focused or "locked in" as kids say these days
I also realized just how wrong it is to exploit people in third world countries. After traveling to these countries I started seeing them as humans, whereas before they were more viewed as objects
Internet really fucks with your brain and warps reality. It somehow makes you believe that sitting on a beach sipping on some drink is peak
