Shit, between my full-time job, commute to work, trying to feed myself, generally dealing with life, I barely have enough time to get 6 hours of sleep.. I'd love to dip my feet in the water, but doing that with a full time job is just not going to happen.

I am doing this right now, but it is only temporary to pay down some debts. I have no life but am just floating in a sea of work.<p>Also, finding freelance work is not easy. After searching for 2.5 years, I finally found a gig.

I disagree wholeheartedly. You&#x27;re only one person! Put your effort and talents into the single job you really want to be working on at that moment. Stop trying to optimize for the most money... Optimize for happiness.

I&#x27;m always suspicious now of people stuff like this - articles on freelancing who sell courses about freelancing ... people with travel blogs who sell books about being &#x27;digital nomads&#x27;.<p>It&#x27;s great they have found a life, but plenty of people doing freelancing will be making money from freelance jobs, not running courses on freelancing itself ... and most &#x27;digital nomads&#x27; will need to do stuff that is not making products for other &#x27;digital nomads&#x27;.
