You’ll find a lot of information on this website focusing on the finances needed to achieve financial independence and enjoy a mobile pretirement. After all, it’s in our name. But what about the realities of life as a Digital Nomad? One of the most common questions we hear is, “So what’s the daily grind of a Wanderer actually like?”
As full-timers, digital nomads, day traders, or whatever people call us, our daily life is different than the average 9-5 working person’s. We don’t have to “go to work.” Yet we’re not retired or on vacation either. We’re working every day to generate income. Trading for a living takes discipline, focus, skill, continuing education, and a commitment to staying up-to-date with current market news and events. We cover all of that here in the form of stock trading lessons, a basic trading course for subscribers, global market updates, and the application of various trading strategies and techniques.
We’re not a traditional group of traders. We’re wanderers. We know just how overwhelming it is to comprehend the logistics surrounding a digital nomad’s life. The transition from a 9-5 life to that of a financially independent wanderer is a big one. So even if you’re not ready to pull the plug quite yet, we’re here for you when you are. Plus, if you’re like us (Pat & Lorin), you’ll want to read every resource you can about the digital nomad, wandering life long before you are ready to do it yourself. That’s what this section is all about.

Quality Dentistry in a Dusty Border Town A couple of months ago, my mouth needed some attention. I’d been ignoring my teeth for too long, and needed a good clean and check.

I’ve always had a soft spot for old folks. They posses a certain wisdom that can only come from a lifetime of experiences. Even though we may not yet be as wise, we can learn so much from them if we are willing to listen. One piece of advice they always seem to share is … read more Windows of Time
Trading the U.S. Markets From Europe Does the Eastern European Summer Time Zone work for Americans? It seems as we get older, we get a bit crusty and set in our ways. At least I can say that I do.

St. Croix, USVI I’ve been cruising around St. Croix in the USVIs for the past month and I have to say, it’s pretty great.

It’s a quiet place, known for its scuba diving, pretty water, clean … read more Trading in St. Croix
