A resident that works from home earns a salary that is calculated according to the economy where he resides, whereas a digital nomad, tipically chooses a destination with a lower cost of living, while earning a salary that was calculated for the economy of his original whereabouts. The digital nomad creates inflation and makes it impossible for locals to live on their own region, while someone who works from home does not have that ability to tip the economy.
