If you think you need to replace your full salary before you can travel full-time, this episode will change the way you look at money, work, and freedom.

In this episode of How to Travel Full-Time, we break down one of the biggest fears midlife professionals face when considering long-term travel: income. Do you really need a remote job right away? How much money is actually enough? And how do you shift from a steady corporate paycheck to a more flexible, real-life money flow?

You'll learn how to understand your financial foundation first, so you can make smart, grounded decisions about earning while traveling, without panic, pressure, or recreating burnout in a new country.

This episode is especially for people over 40 who are ready for reinvention, not just vacation. If you want full-time travel to feel sustainable, stable, and aligned with your lifestyle, this conversation will help you rethink what income really needs to look like in this next chapter.
