In this post, I would like to discuss another of my biggest hopes (intentions) for the future.
Up until this past Sept. I had been working for an online company for the past 4 years and was just getting ready to make the big move to a mobile lifestyle. (When I lost my job in Sept.)
What do I mean by this?
I spent a bit of time traveling in 2008-2009 and I discovered that it was really pretty easy to maintain my work schedule while abroad.
As I’ve said in some of my earlier posts, one of my biggest dreams has always been about traveling the world. Of course a big stumbling block to that has been the saving money/working situation.
Now that I have discovered the world of online business and virtual type work I no longer see money as the challenge it once was. In fact, there are SO many places that I could choose to live (that are high on my list as well) that are MUCH less expensive than the U.S.
So, one of my biggest goals in 2010 and as I enter my 40’s is to create a successful online business model for myself that will allow me to be able to maintain a mobile lifestyle with the ultimate goal of living anywhere that I would choose. (Italy, for example!) 🙂
My current goal and location of choice is Thailand for the following reasons:
- I have heard from others that a reasonable cost of living would be around $1000/mo U.S. which I think is a totally doable goal!
- This is a part of the world that I have really wanted to explore (Southeast Asia)
- I am imagining living somewhere with a great view and in walking distance of a beach
This could change in the upcoming months and I will keep you posted! If I get my income up quickly I could also see myself moving to Italy, Ireland or England! 🙂
