NB : you require some savings before you do this, otherwise you just become homeless.

Remember kids, time is money, but money is also time.

Source : Took a year long sabbatical and moved continents and started a family. Please help me, the DGI is on my ass.

Disseminated gonococcal infection is on your ass?

savings is good, but most people longing for such a change aren't in a good position to save up... and you can always make money somewhere else you go to (often, not always)
if you can't, just hobo somewhere you can...

Sure, just giving advice to people who want to do this with a kind of safety net. Doing it "your way" is more risky, but doing it as opposed to not doing it can still be possible, if you're a bit more prudent.

DGI is the acronym for the tax institution in the country I'm in.

you can make money while living in a van...
one of the subs i mentioned is "digital nomads", which is entirely employed people... living nomadically while working online... aka remote...
in r/vagabonds there's a lot of more traditional traveler type work... seasonal stuff...

or you could tend bar or something

remember kids, money is a figment, time is counting down and you will die someday...

you won't regret having adventures... but you will regret being comfortable

I was just wondering if they were gonna address your point.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i see no point in replying to you at this point...

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn't ask you to reply to me.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i see no point in doing anything you ask me to... which could also be seen as me replying to you

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, no. Plus, you already did. ;)
