Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be rich to travel the world!

One criticism:

Good luck funding a decent retirement with that.

Good luck doing that after age 35 or so. It's pretty easy to be a travelling bum when you're in your 20's, since you've got a support network of other travelling bums, English teachers, and even locals your age who will hang out with you and give you a place to crash.
