It seems most people on here are focused on budget-friendly travel and the alternative is r/expat or r/expatfire both of which are super long term focused (1 year+) not 3 months at a time the way most digital nomads prefer to live.

Wondering if there’s a sub to discuss travel for those of us aren’t on a budget?

    Define what you consider to be “money.”

    I have a friend who pulls 5 million US a year who lives this lifestyle. I’d consider him to be an extreme outlier.

    However I do meet a lot of people pulling 100k or more when I go to meetups in Latam.

    Usually the only people I see talking about shoestring budgets are on here.

      Well, it’s reddit. The home of the unwashed basement dweller.

    A lot of us have money but we are still sensible with our spending. I make a great income from my job and live in a house me and my wife own in Philippines but of course we could go around to different areas spend more. Well we do but never long stay. Longest in a high cost area was 3 months in osaka as a home base and traveled from there. Was not cheap but worth the time.

    I think the idea of a DN is living in an area with locals but above life style. Experience things we can’t in our own counties. Learn new cultures but why still having comforts from home. This can be done in many countries under 1k a month usd.

    Not about being poor or broke but about being sensible.

    I am also thinking retirement at 45 soon because i lived this life style for 20 years.
