I about break even. I started off with savings, but now I just use my income. It's still cheaper than renting an apartment in the center of Amsterdam though.
I checked out of my IT job of 15 years.
I was throughly depressed with it all.
I had a fair amount of website experience and got a few clients who pay regularly for their website and support. I sold all my crap, bought a great laptop and I travel full time now and sometimes I use trustedhousesitters in between just traveling.
I've never looked back and I've been doing this for over 6.5 years... I'm 51 now.
Perhaps what I'm saying is it's never too late to follow your dream, mine was travel, yours might be something else. Just go for it.
English tea is piss poor. After visiting tea plantations around the world, everyone agrees, English tea is basically sweepings from the floor. Nothing good ever went into an English teabag. 🤢
Wild civit cats would usually cherry pick the best, well, cherries (beans) . Thereby ensuring a quality product. Nowadays they are captive and fed any old beans which means the quality is usually quite poor. I mean it still tastes OK, a bit sour, but I certainly don't support this cruel practice.
The world is watching.
