I need to vent.
Everyone all the time asks me how can I afford traveling all the time. I work remotely and have a corporate 10 years long career, I don’t have kids and don’t have a car or an apartment. I speak 2 languages and used to be the most hardworking person ever to make my career. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still from a poor country and I don’t make big money, I travel on budget, but in my country I would be consider above average in terms of money. I’m great in managing money, I provide for myself and am independent for 10 years and I used to live for only $275 a month.
Also as a digital nomad I travel to live in a country, I’m not a tourist that spends much money every day.
How do you deal with it? People tell me all the time that I’ll get broke or that I should work more or that I have a sugar daddy. They ask me if this lifestyle isn’t expensive. Obviously it is, but having kids also is super expensive.
The most funny thing is that I meet people that makes literally 10 TIMES MORE than me and they are jealous and ask me of I could advise them to make more and how much they should make to afford being a digital nomad.
It sounds like you’ve really mastered the art of budget travel and making the most of your remote work situation. It can be frustrating when people don’t understand the lifestyle choices and sacrifices that come with being a digital nomad. My advice? Just keep doing what works for you. And hey, speaking of budget travel, you might find Rebookify useful for hotel deals. It’s a neat way to save a bit extra, especially when you’re constantly on the move. Keep living your dream and let the results speak for themselves
