It’s easy to take a pay cut and travel the world when you’re living with Mommy and/or Daddy

The parental bank is a great resource.

Working persons like me do well just to day trip a few hours away.

Yes, but to work at a Fort Collins, Colorado coffee shop?

Who would give that up? That’s crazy man!

This is not a new thing. I met a bunch of these folks in Viẹt Nam a few years ago when I travelled on a Sinh Café minibus. Sinh Café caters to "backpackers," a phenomenon that has been with us since the 19th century, anyway. It's rich kids and some not so rich who travel with backpacks through mostly Asia. Many go to university for a year in France then travel for a year then a year at Oxford and maybe after another tour, Madrid. Some, those who are less affluent actually work a bit here and there and get stuck in the life. The ones I met were mostly middle aged and had been doing it for decades. Their families have long since stopped supporting them. Some are living on trust fund money. One was actually a fugitive banker from Mumbai staying the proverbial one step ahead of the law. There was a young Finnish couple that seemed enthusiastic about seeing the world but the older ones were a morose lot. Time is just passing for them with no high points and all the new and exciting exotic places are just peeling wallpaper now.

if more saw the rest of the world, then they might start to begin to understand why THEY are so lucky (instead of being consummate ingrates), and that the democrats/leftists in america are ‘hand over fist’ trying to turn america into the same kind of shitholes

[nobamanomore]

That’s it exactly!

> Work can wait

And so can retirement. Compound interest is a big multiplier.

On the flip side, work isn’t everything in life.
