How are young people who don't want to go to work and are always on business trips?

In ancient times, herders lived with cattle and sheep. In the Internet age, some freelancers live in different cities and even countries. No matter where they work, they use mobile phones and computers to work. They are called digital nomads. This seemingly cool lifestyle makes some young people who don't want to go to work ready to move. Is the actual situation really as beautiful as it looks?

——————————————————————————

You may have seen so-called online herders, such as the anchor who often shoots videos of resorts on YouTube. Even on the Internet in China, people always "walk", "take photos", "write" and "publish books" in different countries, and their work and travel are correct, which is simply a shining way of life. As an idealized freelancer in the Internet age, do you also have illusions about such a lifestyle? When I was overwhelmed by the 996 work system, I almost wrote "The world is so big, I want to break in".

Personal income of several thousand euros or dollars before tax every month. It doesn't seem like much, but there are only a few that can be done.

Diversification: it is possible to develop in more than one industry or direction.

For the long-term planning of old-age care, you may wish to start your own business or invest in some entrepreneurial projects or companies.

* * * Enjoy the office is similar to the online herdsmen's cooperative. You can use this place to work and meet like-minded people.

Travel around the world. It's like an endless vacation.

This week, I sunbathed in a bikini in Bali, Instgram, and next week, the London Eye overlooks Big Ben.

Open a bank account with a computer or mobile phone, so you don't have to worry about providing for the aged.

Unless you have a mine at home, you still have to face economic pressure: first of all, don't you have to pay the mortgage or rent?

May be anxious at any time where is the next customer/contract?

Income may make you stay in youth hostels and eat roadside stalls in developing countries in Southeast Asia, which is simply unbearable in developed countries.

As you get older, can your body and mind endure a year of running around?

With luck, customers are all over the world, but they have to be on call 24 hours a day.

Do I have to pay taxes? How to pay taxes? How to save a pension?

The benefits are obvious:

Without a fixed employer, time and spirit are relatively free.

There are many places to go, which can naturally broaden your horizons.

Disadvantages Many people didn't think of:

Work status and income are very unstable, at least at first.

It is very likely that in the long run, the income will be low.

If you don't join the government's pension plan, you should also have personal investment with fixed income.

Most people who choose to live like this are single. If you want to form your own small family and even have children, how can you ensure your income and balance your life? Even if I plan to stay single, how can I balance my relationship with my parents?

If you need to go to other countries, you will face visa problems. Even if you hold a passport from a developed country, you can apply for visas from most countries and regions in the world, but there are still some backward places that need you to apply for visas.

Probably need to face a person's loneliness for a long time.

It is very possible to complete a project independently without the assistance of colleagues and stick to work despite illness.

What should I do if my customer defaults?

What we see is always what we choose to believe, such as the glamorous life of successful people in any industry and occupation. As for how many probabilities and proportions can be achieved and how others can do it, they have never thought deeply at all.

Life is always somewhere else. When you have a stable job from nine to five, you may fantasize about quitting your job smartly, and going out is a vast world.

No matter what job you are doing, don't forget that we live in a rapidly changing era. Just because you graduated from a university or even a master's degree doesn't mean that your knowledge reserve is enough to cope with the decades of work you will face in your life. Can only say that you have laid a good foundation, you need to ask yourself whether the foundation is solid.

No matter what industry, the high income at the top of the pyramid always belongs to very few people. Without background, resources and excellent technology, how can we make big money easily?

I am most afraid that some young people will always say, "I am doing this business here and I can see what it was like in the first few decades." They worry that when they are 40, 50 or even 60 years old, they will still sit in basic posts. Then the question comes again: since your ability can't guarantee a promotion and salary increase in a stable working environment, can you still achieve something in the cruel fight after you go out?

Do a stable job, choose a fixed place or do freelance work on the road, and don't forget to keep lifelong learning and promotion in order to survive relatively safely.

How to depress your living budget?

What kind of self-care skills do you need to supplement?

What skills or techniques do you have in your work?

If you want to work and live in other countries, have you mastered at least one foreign language?

At least millions of young people post photos and articles of "Travel+Work" online. What do you think makes you stand out?

Do you have any plans for your work and life in ten or even decades?
