Yes that is the ideal solution. There are however 2 requirements:loke wrote:I work as a freelancer, as a digital nomad .
1) You need to possess the type of skills which allow it (not all jobs are suitable for working from home via a pc)
2) More important: you need to be able to handle the insecurity which comes from it. I mean if you are a freelancer there is constant pressure to look for new customers/assignments when your current assignment ends. You also need to manage your relationships with previous customers - to keep the bond warm - so they will think about you next time they need someone for an assignment.
The advantage of being an employee is you don't have these kind of stresses. You know next month comes my salary and it is the same as previous month. You know if I am sick for 2 weeks I will still get paid. As a freelancer there can not be an income next month (or a very low one) if you fail to find an assignment that month. It is not suitable for everyone. Your personality must be made for it.
