Well, i have a friend that started working when he was 20. He spent little money and saved most (like 500 - 1000 USD a month) and put it in funds, obligations, and stock market, just around 5-7% a year. He saved enough to start travelling fulltime when he was around 45, but went to Holland 3 months a year the last years to do some extra work. He can easily life from around 500-800 usd a month in Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia and see his money growing... He could spent like 4000 USD if he wanted just from return from investments an inheritage and pension what he will get next year. But he keeps living for around 800 euro in south america.., Only worked 25 years and than 3 months a year teaching music what he likes. Now he is sort of volunteering and they pay all his hotels and tickets and he must travel all over the world, finding and helping musicians. That is not a job, that was what he was doing already cause he likes it and had nothing else to do. He will die rich if he doesn't start spending.
His health is great and must have fucked over 1000 woman all over the world. He prefers woman around 30, but 20 is also ok.
