What’s your advice for empty nesters? My kids have finished under-grad, they’re working and in grad school or preparing for it. They still live with us but are preparing for their independent transition as we’re preparing our next chapter. My husband is semi-retired but I will need to work for 10 more years or create a sustainable living w/o touching my social security.

What advice do you have for families in our situation? I really liked your article about Immigrant vs expat vs digital nomad. I think my approach will be a hybrid (correct me if my thinking is wrong), I truly want to put roots somewhere and we’re leaning heavily to Portugal - the Algarve region for me, Porto for my husband, so we still have work to do. So I think truly I want to be an immigrant and hopefully a dual citizen there one day soon; but since I need to work, this is where the digital nomad comes into play - I’m thinking virtual work will be my income lane, so I’ll need to understand how these visas work in order to move but also stay employed.

Thank you for creating this discussion.
