interestingly enough i spent more money on food while living in bangkok than in china$1500-2k seems to be the sweet spot for pretty much doing whatever you want living like a free man at or near the city center in cheaper places like SEA/China before it's diminishing returns at >$3k. At that point that's for savings, really nice hotels, frequent flights, visiting expensive countries like Korea, HK, etc.
Every location can have costs that catch up on you tho. For me in SEA it's Grab cars, and in China it's restaurants seeming "cheap" but not dirt cheap in reality
yea i blew thru like $60,000 the first couple years of me geomaxxing but that’s cuz i was traveling around the world fast af in biz class from Dubai to Europe then settling in Asia2k and 100k savings is fine. But I know people spend money fast.
i make 6k USD a month tax free and im comfyCurious about my fellow peers and their stipends for geomaxxing
yea I’d find it hard to spend 6k a month in Indonesiai make 6k USD a month tax free and im comfy
actually bank more then i spend
its' not possible unless im fucking movie stars or modelsyea I’d find it hard to spend 6k a month in Indonesia
I'd get bored of geomaxing for that longinterestingly enough i spent more money on food while living in bangkok than in china
but probably cuz i live in a tier 2 city and the foreign food isn’t as expensive and common
I’d say my monthly expenses outside of my monthly vacation would be around $1600 but could be a lot cheaper if i cooked more. i spend around $20 a day on cafes, ordering delivery
what would you suggest instead of it?I'd get bored of geomaxing for that long
move to a single place and build something. Be close to family, etc.what would you suggest instead of it?
my mind has become so crystallized with this lifestyle that i can’t think of anything else to do
Yeah, and suddendly all they do is eat ramen. Spending 300 eur a month. If you travel in thailand, you know you know.the main issue i see with having a low income is inflation
so many people trapped in SEA because they were fine making 1200$ for the past 15 years and all of a sudden they can't afford their lifestyle anymore
60k per year if that's correct?yea i blew thru like $60,000 the first couple years of me geomaxxing but that’s cuz i was traveling around the world fast af in biz class from Dubai to Europe then settling in Asia
now that I’ve settled down my costs have dropped significantly. $2000 is about the sweet spot for me
these are my expenses for the year. This month being the best display of an average month as i only took one trip this month that cost about $250, so rotting in my apartment for a month where in china, i spend about $1300 for everything

Once you hit the 10th year of geomaxxing like myself, and get to wizard status, you’ll reach 100% financial efficiency during deploymentshad no idea you're so poor
spending way less than me
but there were signs tbh like wearing same clothes every day for years

In Vietnam?Have to build your career too. Balance lifestyle and growth
2k is solid, 3k+ if capital city [with long term stay in mind eg. buying apartment(s)]
I like that the people on this forum are realistic. On some other sites you get guys saying 5k minimum or some shit.
Personally, I don't go to restaurants, I don't use A/C, I buy local market food and cook myself. I wear cheap clothing.
I generally spend significantly under 1k, rest is savings.
have fun then heheStill rots in thailand taking the same ole vacations to Phuket![]()

as alex puts it (and now i coin this phrase) no bug boxes!In Vietnam?
What does your place look like tho? If it doesn't have a nice view and a double bed it's a no-go
