It's all about prioritising.
My wife and I are not rich, we both work for the government but still we manage to save up half of our income every month. How? By prioritising... We don't smoke, we don't consume alcohol (I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys spend a fortune every month on booze...) and we watch out at to what we do spend our money. This works for us, perfectly.
So good in fact that we decided to give it all up, to quit our jobs and go for yet another ride and then "settle" again somewhere where we lost our hearts on an island in the sun. Will we make the same money than we do now? Absolutely never-ever. This means that we will 'survive' making only maybe 800€ a month but at least in a place that we like and choose and we know what it will "cost" us, but we don't care anymore... I choose the sun, the ocean and the mountains instead of a big-ass tv with surround sound!
