    Traveled with nothing but a laptop and 500 usd per month around the world (while working too) but sure stay at home blame someone else for your failures.

      Having jobs that require us to appear in-person makes us failures?

      I work with children, it’s not like I can bring them with me to travel. It’s not a typical school either, it’s for autistic preschoolers and incorporates several types of therapy along with school-readiness for the older kids. Because of the medical aspects, we don’t have summer/spring/winter breaks, which could make the therapy less effective.

      “But sure,” stay up on your high horse. Look at you, so much better than those of us who need to be in particular places in order to do our jobs. We’re all such losers for contributing to society in a different way. Weird, I thought travel was supposed to open people’s minds to different ways of living?

      Holy shit dude, even assuming that’s a true story you seriously don’t recognize how much money $500/month is or how privileged you were to be able to work remote while traveling??

        Yet majority of people buy a new truck rather than a plane ticket. Just look up real statistics where majority of people don’t leave their town yet alone travel abroad and instead buy a new truck.

        Traveling has never been as accessible as it is today, period.

          A: I would like to know what kind of truck costs the same as a plane ticket…

          B: Sure it may be more accessible, but accessible does not mean cheap

            A: so they can buy 100 plane tickets yet stay at home using their new truck to drive to fast food drive through instead.

            B: it’s the cheapest it has ever been. Not sure what else you want here? Somebody to pay you and hand hold you everywhere? Like get a grip on life at least a little bit, take the fruits the universe gives you instead of whining.

              … Fucking hell this is entitled. Are you serious with this? You cannot be this out of touch. “Why do people buy LUXURY CARS instead of TRAVELING they just need to get a GRIP” do you really not see an issue with that reasoning?

                People absolutely spend money on luxuries that aren’t traveling. Traveling is less popular per usd spent than other luxuries since covid still as people are just more content with local entertainment. Most people don’t even leave their town let alone their country. Look up the stats, I dare you. Bye.

      Damn the lack of self awareness. All that traveling to learn so little. Pretty much a wannabe billionaire. Just about there in personality. Not there in income. Supposed growth induced from travel but just sounding like a colonist with the lack of empathy and understanding of other people. You don’t sound any more than a taker
