    Is Quitting my Job Every Few Years Worth it?

    Making more money is more important than ever with inflation and the overall cost of living increasing.



    In this episode we answer the question, should I quit my job every few years for the goal of making more money?



    Will job hopping with the goal of increasing your income work? Studies show that, yes, it will work. However, there are hidden downsides to this strategy.
