Today we’re talking about the pros and cons of living and working in multiple locations. This is relevant to people who have actually retired, of course. But the question in the FATFIRE forum today was actually posed by someone who has complete location freedom in their remote job.

“I'm not retired, but recently hit the jackpot with work: a fully remote job that can truly be done from anywhere in the world. On this sub there are many discussions about which cities to live in, but as far as I can tell not one about how many cities to split time between.

Do you have one location for winter months and one for summer? Do you have a main base with short vacations elsewhere? Do you live in a new city every month?

What are the pros and cons of each?”

I’m going to summarize some of the discussion and some personal thoughts, before sharing my favorite answer from the forum.
