Creator's Key Takeaways

It's all about money because the biggest obstacle to this life is money.

We set up a budget where we said, 'Okay, we're going to do $4,000 a month because we'd seen other people say $4,000 a month is a magic number.'

We use an app called Travel Spend and we literally keep track of every dollar.

You can adjust as you go along. You can even switch your accommodation to a cheaper one if you need to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay off all debt before starting full-time travel.
Prepay travel expenses when possible to ease budget management.
Use a travel spending app to track every dollar daily.
Have multiple bank accounts and a trusted contact in the US for emergencies.
Adjust your budget and accommodations as needed based on spending.
