Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge

skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now, while

building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua Sheets.

Today, I want to share with you why I do not believe moving around is conducive to wealth.

Now, you'll notice that I'm giving myself quite a broad scope of conversation here.

By moving around, I mean, traveling a lot, but I also mean just frequently moving around.

In today's episode, you can basically consider this a report from me, your intrepid experimenter,

your intrepid investigator, about what I've learned of moving around a lot and trying

on some alternative lifestyles and how I think that those things impact wealth.

My thesis is simply that moving around is not conducive to wealth for the vast majority

of people.

I want to leave a small caveat here for the point that moving around might be helpful

to wealth for those who take jobs because changing jobs on an appropriately frequent schedule

or going to places where there are jobs that pay highly can actually be a pretty decent

strategy, whether this is from the professional, on the professional level, right?

Maybe you're a turnaround specialist that goes in and takes command of a failing company

works there for two years, fixes the major problems, and then that company is sold.

That might be a very highly profitable job.

It could also be the case at the low end of the income scale.

There are people who only work during certain times of the year on a seasonal basis, but

the seasonal labor that they do is actually pretty highly paid.
