The flip side of blowing up your life regularly like this, is you are throwing away momentum you may have accumulated in your current life.

This is particularly true when it comes to your place of residence. Moving constantly means you never "lock in" a level of expenses and will always have to earn more to keep up with inflation of housing prices (be it rent or purchase price). At least in Europe it is common to have indefinite rental contracts with a clause saying they can never raise the rent more than LOW_SINGLE_DIGIT% per year or even only for 10 years and not after.

On the other hand, moving cities/countries/continents for a salary boost can compound over your career and be probably the best financial decision you'll ever make.

I think it all comes down to what you want in life. Some people are happy with making their nest early and switching to cruise control. Others want to get out and experience as much of the world as they can. It's trite, but different strokes and all that.
