Saw a coworker's health tank after 3 years of nomad life in Thailand
Guy I started with in 2021 was fine, last week he looked 10 years older and had shingles from the stress of never having a real bed or consistent routine. Has anyone else watched someone just burn out from the constant moving around?

Is it really the moving or just trading one stress for another with no support network?

Moving to a cheaper city literally saved my mental health.

Honestly, @annaw73 I gotta ask - is "saved your mental health" really not an exaggeration? Like I get that cheaper rent sounds nice but that feels like a big claim for just moving somewhere with lower prices. Ngl, you're probably just relieved from the immediate money stress but that doesn't mean your actual problems are gone. Tbh, I've seen people move to cheaper places and still end up miserable because they didn't fix the stuff inside their own head first. Not saying your experience isn't valid but maybe it's more about the temporary relief of cheaper bills than some life changing mental health fix.
