A few years back, I shared that listening to a podcast had sent me down a rabbit hole exploring the world of digital nomadism. At the time, I'd firmly concluded that the lifestyle wasn't for me.

Money at 30: Two Years Later - Was Our Apartment Upgrade Worth It?
Nearly two years ago, my wife and I decided to move from our longtime apartment complex to one where the rent was $400 more per month.
