I've been looking into travel social work and finally in a position to start moving forward with this a little further. Just curious about how to stay aligned with FIRE principles/goals while pursuing this? I don't want to extend our FIRE date too much.
For example, I know I would only have access to healthcare when I have an assignment and am at risk to be without in between jobs. Would I have access to a 401k/403b? If I take an assignment in California, am I considered a resident and have to pay their taxes (much higher than Michigan).
Some things we've discussed is airbnb-ing our current home to cover our mortgage. I would be reimbursed/compensated for housing wherever I'm assigned so the hope is we would have no out of pocket housing expenses. I would need to find someone to help clean and be a contact for guests. They cover airfare, any basically any other expenses I would have which has the potential to help us save substantially more than we already are.
I would love to hear from those who've done it or are doing it and how they make it work.
