A few that both stopped at work to travel around the world with their children is open about the harsh reality of life on the road – which ultimately leads them to return home only three months later.
Taylor and Megan Kovar, 38, from Texas, had become 'fed up' from their hectic, non-stop lifestyle.
While running their four companies and the home schools of their three children, Kix, 13, Kambry, 10 and Kessly, six, they suddenly stopped and wondered: did they actually live the life they wanted?
In an attempt to leave the rat race and find 'Ultimate Freedom', the couple sold their companies and went on an adventure with their breeding.
They visited Greece, Australia, Canada, Mexico and all 50 states in the US – but after three months they realized that the lifestyle was simply not for them.
“Pressure does not even start to cover our lives earlier,” Taylor recently told Luxury Travel Daily.
“We were always on the move and chased the next goal. And although we loved what we were building, it wasn't the life we ​​wanted.
'At that moment we just walked on the starch machine. The answer was clear – it was time to take a break and reconsider everything we had ever known. '

Taylor had always been a strong supporter of financial independence and retired (fire brigade).
But the finish line was far away. So instead he decided to embrace freedom in the now, and they decided to take a micro-retirement.
In 2022, the five-year-old family became almost all their possessions lost the essence in the storage was on the road.
Because they knew that this was not a permanent change of life, they kept their house ready to return.
According to Taylor, the decision to leave the house stem them from those who wanted to make quality doctors with their children before it was too late.
He said: 'I realized that our children would not be small forever. One day I didn't want to wake up and regret that I missed those years with my family.
'I grew up very poor and traveling was not part of my childhood, so seeing the world always felt like something other people had to do.
“I wanted more for my children, I wanted them to experience the places I had only read about in books or on TV – to show them that the world is bigger than their backyard.”

Taylor said he was worried that his children missed 'important moments with friends'
To ensure that they would not fall behind at school, the couple hired a private teacher to make their travel schedules work.
And in combination with experiences such as standing where the declaration of independence was signed and learned how pineapple grow in Hawaii, Taylor and Megan believe that their children learned more through their travels than they would have done in a classroom.
“I remember that I was in Hawaii, completely paradise, and the children wriggled in our rounds nostalgia and missed their friends,” he said. 'It was a reminder that it does not matter how incredible the destination is, is at home about the people you love'
But they still had their worries. He continued: 'School was not a problem – but social connections were. Would they miss important moments with friends? Or find it hard to stay connected?
'It was not a super long journey, but the constant move was a lot for them to handle. In the beginning they were enthusiastic – but the novelty was quickly rejected.
'I remember that I was in Hawaii, completely paradise and the children rolled up in our rounds and their friends.
“It was a memory that, no matter how incredibly the destination is, is at home about the people you love.”
Taylor says that the experience, which cost a total of $ 25,000, was 'EYE opening' and 'transformative'.
In the end, however, they all missed a routine and a basis to come back to. And after just three months they decided to return home.
Taylor has now accepted a career to help families navigate financial independence, so that they too can now experience freedom, rather than later.

According to Taylor, those three months have completely changed the way they view life.
And although they have realized that living on the road is not for them, they still have traveling as a main priority.
'The experience is completely again wired how we see life. We used to sprint non-stop, “he concluded.
'Take a step back made us realize that time is the only thing you can earn more from.
'Now we give priority to experiences over endless work. And traveling is no longer a one-off event for us-it is now part of our lifestyle.
'Instead of waiting for the perfect time to make a trip, we go every six weeks instead. Looking back, the well -spent money was.
'We didn't pay just to travel – it was about investing in memories, adventure and a perspective shift.
'We realized that the real goal did not escape normal life, it was ensuring that the life we ​​built was one that we did not want to escape.
'The adventure was great, but there is something in the house that cannot be replaced. It strengthened something for me that I already knew; We were not promised tomorrow.
'You can work all your life and never take the time to live. Money is just a tool, but how you use it to build a meaningful life is what really matters. '
