Social I'm between wanting to pack up everything and travel the world full time & wanting to buy a little house in the middle of nowhere and live a slow life

[benebox]

Travel the world and live slow. Thats what I do, rent a villa somewhere nice and chill out a month or 2 then move on. You can live like a king is Asia for next to nothing.

I think it‘s a false dilemna. Saving 5K to go abroad back backing for a month is attainable for most people bankable enough to own a house in the first place.

Do that, come back, start from scratch and if these 5K put you back 10 years then you probably should not own property in the first place.

the people i know with kids seem to travel alot, maybe it's because they have some financial stability and want their kids to experience disneyland and such. I can tell they are stressed thought, and they stress me because they want rides, and pet watching etc., I won't be doing that anymore though.

I think this is where I draw the you can‘t have both line. Cool for people who pull it off, but for me travelling with my children is very stressful and I try to avoid it.

hell ya, it looks stressful as hell, even though there kids are older now, they still have to put up with other kids on the planerides, who they complain about when they get back. I don't even like travelling when it's just me so I don't really get it. There are also the considerations of the havoc different climates can wreak on a person. I turned purple when i went to 50 below alaska the last time and i remember an mma trainer of mine coming back from brazil and looking about the same as I did. It's not easy on the system. I also hear for older people, the plane ride can trigger heart attacks.

Do you seriously do this? Because this is what I want to do. How hard is it to just go out and start doing something like this?

I can work from a laptop (MMA gambler and game dev), so I can do it from anywhere.

This is the major aspect IMO. Beyond the stress, the health side is critical. Either one of my kids always gets sick or hurt on vacation. So far we have pretty much gone on vacation in western Europe countrysides and even then it‘s shitty to find a doctor when something happens. I can‘t imagine the nightmare of dealing with a serious health problem in a remote place in a developing country.

Youtube is full of people who do this. If your earnings all come from your laptop AND you want to try it then there is no excuse not to

It's so easy, to start just get a one way ticket to Thailand / Bali and rent a villa for a month. They give you Visa on arrival.
You will meet a ton of people doing the same thing so easy to make friends as well since everyone is on the same boat.

Yes, I tried living in Brazil for three years and could not adapt to the climate.
Also, the pollution made me develop asthma and I constantly had rhinitis.
I caught dengue twice and nearly died

Also, the bigger you are the more uncomfortable travelling gets

Unfortunately I am. My mom is on her deathbed so yeah.
I'm in a small town at the beach though, life ain't bad.

I'll go back to Brazil when I have enough money to just chill there without working.

You need to crack open a bottle of prosecco, light a few candles and have a real heart to heart with your boyfriend.......show him what's in your heart and what's in your head.

Together you'll make the right decision for your journey together.

Boomers were able to buy houses on a blue collar salary with the wife staying home. In todays world, houses are unaffordable for a lot of people.

Boomers climbed the property ladder. Younger people want a flash inner city apartment as soon as they join the workforce, and want several o/s holidays a year as well. Boomers were in a better market but still had to make sacrifices.

Raise a family, tend to a stable job and travel 2-3 weeks out of the year to countries in Europe, North America and select few in Asia.

I've always found the aimless wanderers to be empty shells of people that end up with depression and loneliness.

Yeah just pop out some kids....for reasons. Fucking fool

 

[boingyman]

I say do whatever you want, but do so within your financial means. For me (and my family) that means traveling several times per year including at least 1 international trip.

 

[blaseblase]

Why are the 2 options live in the middle of nowhere or travel endlessly? Why the 2 extremes? You sound like a spazz.
