How much are the usual earnings of a digital nomad? (aka how much are you making?)

I feel most earn only $1000 to $2000 and spend it ALL on travelling. I don't think thats mentally and financially sustainable.

I’m a developer and barely break $10K after tax a month. I work from WeWork and other coworking spaces around the world and have met others making around the same or more.

There are definitely responsible digital nomads out there. It really depends on your circles and where you stay as well. I cannot work at hostels or focus at small hotel rooms so I up my hotel budget and see it as a business expense.

Hi, may I know whether you work for a company or do you freelance/own your own business?

Asking all the other devs in this thread the same question, but I'm guessing you are working remotely abroad without telling your employer right? on travel visas? I'm fully remote but all the roles I ever see being advertised restrict me to stay in my country.

I'm a dev too making around $7,500 to a bit over $8,000 USD a month generally. Freelancer but steady clients and haven't taken a new project in a year and a half. Living in Asia for over 4 years now

Can I ask what in languages / techs ? I am a full-stack dev for 20 years but I never did any freelance job, I only worked on my own business (websites and apps) I had some crazy years in money but these days its much harder, these number make me reconsider :)
