If I may ask without it sounding too probing, how do your children do with the nomadic lifestyle?
Not at all. We don't have kids. So we're doing it in easy mode. :)
We met a few nomads who do, though. That is genuinely another ball game, but not impossible.
Those who appear to thrive as nomads, have embraced home-schooling and seek out / arrange lots and lots of ad-hoc socializing events for the kids.
Not having a fixed set of friends is a problem for just about all of the kids. Their parents look to offset that, eg. by frequently stopping by locations where one of the kid's close friends live.
In one case I know of, they also often invite the "settled" children over to join their travels during the school holidays. Of course that only works because their parents trust them, or join the trip themselves.

Very cool! I've been interested in convincing my family to try something that's a bit more nomadic, but thus far we've only flirted with it in transitions between more settled things. It is very attractive to me.
The mental accounting you do makes a lot of sense. I can see how it helps with perspective.
