SOO many great questions that I get asked all the time!!! I planned and saved my ass off in case i lost my job, or something happened which it did.. I also have a very low cost of living. (less than 200 USD) a month. I am not fancy, but i prefer spirulina to kale..

Today i thought with all these fruits in my yard my next job might be selling them on the back of a scooter... my dream is to buy some bees and sell local honey to the tourists tho aka the students at my boyfriends work they are all foreigners, and home made deodorant.

Not the best business plan, but as my bf said he has a job so we don't have to worry..

existing prividledge i am a white woman from the US with USD.. soooo that should answer that question.

I also am not opposed to hard work, and if worse comes to worse, i have that priviledge to go back to work.. since nurses will always be in demand (which is also one of the reasons i became a nurse) or teach english online yet again because i am white and speak native english from the US- which is important to countries in asia.

and I did live in my car for a couple of months, but only to not pay 2200$ a month rent in LA while saving for my trip.. but at least i had a car.. which some people in this country do not have.

Ok i have flooded you with enough comments.. great article.
