My wife and I have been discussing this a lot lately. She’s decided that she wants me to retire way early in a few years (after Lily enters college). My wife wants to become a traveler nurse anesthetist and bounce around the country (and internationally) every three months or so. She could do this and make $150 -$200/hour, and with my retained benefits and our accumulated investments, her plan is very appealing. The hospitals that recruit traveler nurses don’t provide benefits like health insurance or 401(k) contributions (hence the higher salary), but they do provide housing and maybe even food allowances. We’d come back to Ponte Vedra Beach every two or three rotations. It’ll be interesting to see if we can make this work and if we still like this plan in the coming years. I’m sure there are hurdles we haven’t considered yet, but it’s worth checking out.
