I am not rich but I travel where I want when I want. I am in my forties and have traveled the world many times. Sometimes I even go first class.
Here's what you do if you like this lifestyle;
Eliminate all unnecessary expenses from your life. The most common things that fear money are cars, houses, all subscription services, fast food, etc. You can write entire books about things that waste your money. So here are some great things; I don't own a car. It saves me $ 500 per month. I cycle almost everywhere, and I am really happy. On rare occasions, I need a car, borrow a friend's car, or use a rental car service, or even rent one. Houses ; real estate is a great investment, and I own rental property. But in fact, I rent the place where I live. This allows me to save $ 1500 per month (compared to what I would pay if I bought the same place). Plus, I have the freedom to move whenever I want and I'm not tempted to make improvements because I'm not an owner! At fast food restaurants, I usually research all of the major franchises that regularly advertise their products on TV. In my opinion, these guys don't sell anything but garbage. I took the big national fast food chains out of my diet ten years ago and found they save me around $ 300 a month today. I also lost a few pounds! Subscriptions (anything billed to you monthly) Obviously, you can't get rid of things like utility bills, but you should avoid anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Also avoid reckless financial investments like timeshare and expensive toys like boats etc. In short, control your spending.
Learn to invest from an early age. I started investing in my late twenties. I made horrible mistakes along the way and almost went broke, but the lessons were worth more than they cost financially. Fifteen years later, the investments that I have made with success now provide me with sufficient passive income to enjoy a certain freedom, such as that of traveling! There are a lot of good investments, so choose what interests you, and don't be afraid to fail, when it does, take the lesson and get up and do better the second time around.
When traveling, enjoy affordable places most of the time. I have traveled to Paris, Rome, etc. I spend most of my travels in more affordable places like Mexico and Asia. You would be amazed at what the more affordable destinations can offer at a fraction of the cost of famous places
Remember, this is your life, so make it count.
Don't always travel conventionally.
