I did travel nursing many years ago and really started craving stability. Now, I'm considering going back to it, but I know a lot of people are. Do you think it's worth it? How do you manage with the lifestyle changes? I'm not as young as I was. Thanks

I really enjoy the flexibility!

One of my husband's ex-army buddies is a travelling nurse in his late 30's. He absolutely loves it and makes great money. His girl travels with him and I think the location hopping gives him some excitement he was missing after military life. I think the question of whether or not it is gonna worth it to you really comes down to what feeds your soul. You said you were craving stability before--are you craving change now?

smart

Yup, I loved the freedom and flexibility. Plus being able to meet new people!

Another option is remote nursing if you’re looking to travel but want stability and don’t want he worst assignments. Pays well too.

Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Is there anyone who’s experienced helping their parents get health insurance?

Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
