One of the important things you can buy for money is your own time. Not having to spend 8 hours a day at a job means you have 8 extra hours (maybe 10 if we include commute) to do whatever you want. From the perspective of free time, that’s almost like getting a few extra decades of life.
It’s even better than that, because now the time you spend on your own projects is not interrupted regularly by something that takes your attention away; also travelling is not limited to a few days a year; so you can not only do twice as much, but you can also do things that would otherwise be almost impossible.

Agree, and I’d say the traveling and time buy-back bit is very much gradual, which I enjoy.
I.e. 4-hour work week lifestyles are kind of a pipe dream, but 20-hour work week digital nomading is pretty run of the mill.
