Lurkin biz since 2015
Just don't be an idiot? I spend $3100 on a three week trip to Europe, which includes all plane/train/bus tickets, lodging, meals, fun stuff and gifts for people. That's about $140 a day, which is like 7 or 8 hours of work if you make a decent wage. U can do it.
I work about 15 hours per week, remotely, and make between $5-7k per month. Don’t really like what I do, but I never have to think about saving money or budgeting.
What's your job?
I’m a legal copywriter, but I’m applying for PhD and law programs this winter. I’d rather lose my freedom than continue doing this shit.
why dont ur moron ass explain why
read a terms and conditions retards, he writes shit like that all day
I work remotely in a high-paying industry and live with my parents. My monthly essential expenses (mortgage share / car insurance / cell, etc.) are about an eighth of my total income, so the rest gets saved until I want to go on a trip. I am lucky and not everyone is in this position. If my parents hadn't inherited a house in a good area we would have all been fucked.
I do pretty much the same thing. I don't even pay for cell service or car insurance. Save money at home for 2-3 months, travel for ~6 months. Repeat until the housing market crashes and I pick up my own.
I make less than $50k, have a mortgage that takes up more than half my salary, and I still can afford to travel for 2 months out of the year.
I am unmarried and have no kids.
1. dont have kids
2. dont spend anything on women
3. travel and live life happily
I have to say though, when you don't have kids they might seem like they just limit your life... but once you have them you realize they're the best thing ever.
t. a father of one and soon another.
my gfs husband has kids with another woman and after seeing how hard that guy works overseas.... count. me. out.
There's a difference between having a functional family and being part of whatever hell pit you are all enmeshed in.
Truth
honestly i was hesitant at first but if you do the math it's close to $1k/hr
I suck cocks for £25 a pop. Most nights I can go though 3 to 5. Sometimes on weekends I can do as much as 10 so I make pretty good money
I have my own business + my wife is a wagie.
We usually blow 2k-3k (together) for a 2 weeks holiday, without major restraints (decent enough hotels, mostly decent meals).
My sister in law just blew 5k for a 2 days trip in Disneyland. It's absolutely insane how people spend their money in the most retarded way nowadays.
I don't have bills and shit but I can't understand not being able to save.
Say you work full-time and get paid weekly.
All you need to do is save $100 a week.
Unless you're struggling to survive (in which case travel should be the least of your worries) $100 should be very easy to save.
Now if you put aside $100 a week, in one year you will have $5,200.
That is enough for a plane ticket anywhere in the world plus hotel and food unless you're a boomer who wants the most expensive of everything.
People who say they can't afford travel can in fact, afford it. They just can't be bothered saving for it.
Even doing $50 a week lands you $2,600 which is enough for a nice holiday.
This or just learn to make more money.
Look, I learned one thing. Most people are horrible with finances. It's absolutely terrifying to watch people complain that they struggle, but then you see the way they live.
Same with fat people...
I work with a guy who took £15k out on his mortgage to take his brats to Disneyland
I almost forgot this was irl and came this close -> <- to asking him if he was retarded
It really is grim. Some people just can't control themselves. Sometimes I wonder where their fucking money goes.
This, one of my coworkers, who does 50 hours a week on the job uses payday loans to buy drugs.
I worked the entire time, when I had some money saved up I took a break to travel more, and being a young woman I could get by on meals by going on dates. Honestly many times things didn't work out as planned, I got lonely, but I lived an interesting life so yeah.
I have another few trips coming up, and then I hope to get a nice stable job.
>being a young woman I could get by on meals by going on dates
I know this is bait but fuck you
>oh no a woman who bears the burden of menstruation, sexual harassment, pregnancy, childbirth, allows a man to fulfill his role in society and provide for her, what a crime
it's always the broke losers who complain too
yeah i don't understand why these traditionalist types are always the ones complaining about women having their dinner getting paid for. isn't the woman supposed to pump out babies and the dude supposed to earn?
I had a girl do this to me once lol. She was super flirty the entire date and left when I got up to pee after the check arrived. What a bunch of cunts you are
Have you arranged to meet older guys through SeekingArrangement?
High income job. Also, a lot of my travel is work related.
I could save up just fine and travel with 9-5. Software Engineer here.
Now I own a company though, and we've been doing so fine that it's harder to spend all I earn that it is to save.
Trust fund baby here, suck it.
I'm cheap af, no kids, no wife, no gf, live with family, no car, usually don't even pay for cell service, don't go to nightclubs or restaurants (not my thing) and basically only spend money on groceries.
Plus I'm pretty cheap when I travel too. I try not to spend over $2k including plane ticket, hotels, etc.
Central/South America is pretty cheap if you speak Spanish well enough to avoid tourist hotels and restaurants. If you're willing to be flexible with travel dates, take redeyes, and sit in the worst seats on the plane, you can make it relatively affordable. I made this work back when I worked at a university and had a month's worth of vacation to use but made shitty pay.
>no GF/wife
>no children
>live with my parents at 28 years old
>work a good job
I still do this (just turned 26) but it has one fatal downside: American sluts don't consider you a real man if you still live with mom and dad. Sad but true. If I were Spanish or Italian (like actually living there) it'd be different, but literally almost every woman I meet thinks less of me just because I'm not paying $1.5k for some shitty flat. It's getting to the point where I'm considering getting a second remote job just so I can continue to build wealth while paying rent. My dating life is virtually non-existent when I'm in the US. It's sad but at least this way I'll be able to bring back random sluts to my place without awkward introductions.
I live in central europe, where I am currently at average age for moving out.
I would like to move out, but I dont want to be a rentfag, give money to some landlord gay and rather give those money to my parents.
Also as a single guy, it is harder for me to finance my home than when there are two of us.
thats good, u can weed out the bitches. a keeper would be endeared you live with your parents.
Travel for work so most of my personal travel is all on points.
Just hitchhike and bring a tent. I also just buy bread, fruit and cheese from the supermarket to eat usually. The only things I "splurge" on are museums. When I was in Armenia I spent like 3 euros a day for three weeks
Do you have zero muscle mass or something?
Bread and cheese have lots of calories and nutrients. I don't know whatever goyslop diet you be on, but I guarantee it is a waste of money.
Post your bread and cheese physique.
>goyslop
Chicken?
I am 180 cm 65 kg. I won't post my body because chances are you're a chud pervert. Chicken is an unnecessary luxury. If I want animal protein I eat tuna or liver paste
> Chicken is an unnecessary luxury
In medieval armies, chicken was so ubiquitous that it wasn’t even added to the list of foods that the army consumed (like beef, tallow, bread, wine, etc). Chicken breast is unmatched for protein/calorie ratio
You’re a fucking manlet skeleton. Makes sense.
Have a job
Keep CC paid off
Don't own latest phone/car/etc just shit that works
Eat out sparingly
Save cash into accounts during payday
Use credit card rewards when possible and smart
Double dip by using a site like hotels.com for rewards on top of cc points
Put in FF# when flying
Be willing to take a bus or other transportation
Get a room mate if possible
Also helps to work 100% remote even before covid.
Trust fund
I'm single, live at home and work in a first world country. So it's pretty easy for me.
I don't drink alcohol
I don't smoke
I don't buy electronics
I don't play video games
I don't go to restaurants and I make my own food
I don't eat junk food
This way I can save 200 300 euros every month and I usually spend it all at summer roaming for a month
I'm so glad that I can afford that extra 300 euros a month to spend on drinks, games, and restaurants.
I can’t tell if this is bait, but I’ve been able to travel at least some since I was young and kind of broke by prioritizing it among things to spend on. Throughout my twenties I might only go on a major trip once every year or two, but when I did I didn’t have to worry about money.
I’ve also gotten a lot of mileage out of being an expat (in four different countries so far, first three in Asia, last five years in Europe) and taking frequent, shorter local/regional trips. These have the advantages of typically being relatively cheap, and very easy to fit into a full-time working life. I’ve worked freelance/as a consultant for most of the last seven years, so I am theoretically location-independent at this point, but even if I don’t do the digital nomad thing I tend to have a lot of control over my schedule.
I also used to get a lot of very short solo excursions out of tacking some personal days onto the ends of business trips, when I had to travel semi-frequently for work.
But my biggest secret nowadays is just to be old and relatively wealthy. I recommend it.
Seasonal worker. 20-25 weeks a year. Vacation the rest. Make 4-6k/wk.
Woa, what kind of seasonal work pays that well ? Oil rig ?
Lying. He works in lying.
i can travel anywhere anytime and its always boring to me. went around europe two years ago and basically just wanted to go home the entire time. no clue how you guys find that shit fun. maybe i need to do more cocaine
The days when I used to travel the most were when I was getting good neetbux. I still travel but not as much as before.
Not being American probably helps. I only take home 2k/month and it's more than enough to travel regularly and stay on top of my mortgage and all the rest of it.
i'm a trust funder so i just use my inheritance. daddy worked hard so i could be a fuck off.
Crime.
Simple as.
dont be poor
Save up $2000-$4000 a year. That's enough for an international week long holiday unless you're going somewhere super expensive
I date older women. Basically, I just stay fit and hang around places the married ones go without their husbands. I won't date the grandmas, tho. They pay for everything. I guess it's okay. Just no grannies is my rule. Like Madonna now - that shit! no waY!
Where do you meet them? Asking for a friend.
>make $150k a year
>get 25 paid days off a year
>able to work remotely
Life is good.
