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.

Insane numbers being dropped in here with $100k pa salaries. It makes sense how overinflated prices are in some cities if that’s what the expat Americans are pulling in.

I’ve fluctuated between $1000-$5000pcm over the 4.5yrs nomadding as a part-time freelancer. Generally at the lower end of that value (I’m not American, by the way) and live fine with my SO.

Remember those that are high earners are FAR more willing to share they’re bringing in five figures a month compared to someone scraping by. It massively skews the picture and you should treat your own path.
