After 5 years traveling the world for less than I ever spent in the US, I learned a mindset to help me save money at home...
- I lived in Costa Rica and traveled the world for five years for less than it costs to live in the US.
- I didn't have a car, and doing work exchanges kept my fixed costs a fraction of what I spent in the US.
- My mindset was also different: I didn't feel the need to spend money to have fun like I do at home.
