Benefits of location independence?

The benefits of location independence are extensively discussed by Brad Barrett and his co-hosts on the ChooseFI podcast. Key benefits include:

1. Flexibility and Freedom: Location independence provides you with the freedom to travel and live anywhere you prefer, without being tied to a single job location. This means you can take long vacations or move to different cities or countries as you like 1.

2. Enhanced Lifestyle: Working for yourself, especially online, offers autonomy and many lifestyle benefits akin to financial independence. You can achieve many of these benefits even before achieving full financial independence 2.

3. Increased Opportunities: With the rise of remote work, such as positions offered by Salesforce, location independence has become more common. This trend offers more job opportunities that don’t require being in a specific location, making it easier to find high-paying jobs and maintain work regardless of location 3.
