>never recapture the adventure of that first trip
Yeah, kinda true. On the flip side, your travels become a lot more comfy on subsequent trips because you get better at making good choices and avoiding mistakes.

>You gotta put some money away to build a life worth living at home
I'm very happy that I did not buy into this sort of advice, or else I would've trapped myself in the cycle of wagecuckery and speculative investment, enslaving myself and my financial resources to the system in the pursuit of "freedom" through wealth. Remember, wealthy people get wealthier off the backs of poor people striving to acquire wealth for themselves. This is why they love to goad, taunt and bait you into putting more effort & resources into the system.

I spent nine months overseas recently and paid exactly $0.00 in bills back home during that period. Yet when I came back to my place, showing up on foot with my luggage, it took all of 30 minutes to unpack my bags, plug in the appliances and feel right at home again. The life I've currently built in the high-altitude town of my choosing has required me to invest all of $300 in secondhand furniture, artwork, cookware and bedding. It has everything I need and nothing I don't.

Was it easy to get to this point? No. I had to endure years of lonely wanderings, months of toil, countless mental struggles, and dozens of failures to get to where I am now. Forging your own path outside the conventional good-goy education - career - investment pipeline is never easy, but it has profound rewards, including an unshakeable belief in your own exceptionalism.
