Digital Nomad Person with one-way ticket and laptop in his
backpack
Pick your style
Passive income - do work upfront - media - websites/apps
- digital products - property owner - automated business - drop-shippers
Passive income bible
Un-workers • refuse to work for big companies • work
on things they ‘love’ • if money is not a motivator, have to drop consumption levels • usually have multiple income sources
Quarter nomads - location-independent workers - freelancers - remote office-workers
- people who travel a lot for a job - seasonal workers
Trust fund babies - Relatives contributed to trust fund -
Save 1000$ monthly in 16 years - Early retirement due to medical issues/injury People spend no more than 4% of your savings in a year
Runaway nomads - usually have resources that will run out
during X months - living on a daily budget - take big break from ‘everything’
Capitalomads gained ‘a lot of money’ in a short time
- sold company - won a lottery - sold their assets - sponsored
Sexpats - People who look for a soul mate -
Sex-thrill seekers
None
So, how much? 2000$ in a month is enough in
most places
None
You will need savings At least for 4 months... *
The less savings you have, the more motivation you get
Don’t run away from problems!
It’s not a vacation • it’s not only about fun
• don’t rely on motivation • train your discipline
Find a mentor
Packing cubes rock!
