#1 most Frequently Asked Question:
"How do you pay for travel? "
Person thinks: He must have rich parents
I say: "I traveled so long because I couldn't afford rent, I travel to save money!"

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MINIMALISM, MODERATION. Using the money for that which is most valuable. for me I put all my money into flights and art: equipment, processing, printing. Then saved the rest of my money by moving from place to place and doing work trade to get food and shelter.
Minimalism doesn't mean sleeping in a jute potato sack in the bushes...
In thailand I was given my own cabin in the woods. it is still considered mine. All because they were grateful that I came and taught English to the monks and local people. for them it is a great advantage if they have have a english speaker around. I studied Thai culture to get 'credits' for the work trade because they always wanted me to learn and showed it by being MY teachers. this is an unknown aspect of work trade is that you can nurture an element of doing it for an education. You can give your time to the people, let them decide. What to do with you. Be willing to continue as far down the international rabbit hole as possible.
This is why you don't need money for this lifestyle. Beyond doubt it can cost a fraction of the price of living in a western country. Food, gas, rent. Major output of resources. One can do many things with money depending on location and strategy.
