How do digital nomads save to meet their financial goals while having an unstable income: for example, do they invest their money in stocks or real estate?

I think this is a personal call based on your level of risk tolerance, but I always think it's smart to have a "profit" account that you can't readily access so you can start to lock away your cash and invest it wisely.

Lately we've been looking more into investing in gold....especially as the economy/markets get a little shaky again.
