It was during university and I rented a half of a room for $120.

And this is what I'm talking about. Everyone asks me about my money all the time. 😅

No, in my country actually renting apartments is a good business. Many of my friends have 2 apartments and they rent out one. We don't have buildings that are owned by one company and they rent it out. Every apartment is owned by a person. It's much different than in different countries.

In my country it's like a must and a success. People take 30 years mortgage just to have 40 m2.

I think the problem is I hate when people ask me about my salary, spendings and savings. It's too private for me.

It's not my social circle. I travel, so I meet new people all the time.

I need to vent.

Everyone all the time asks me how can I afford traveling all the time. I work remotely and have a corporate 10 years long career, I don't have kids and don't have a car or an apartment. I speak 2 languages and used to be the most hardworking person ever to make my career. Don't get me wrong, I'm still from a poor country and I don't make big money, I travel on budget, but in my country I would be consider above average in terms of money. I'm great in managing money, I provide for myself and am independent for 10 years and I used to live for only $275 a month.

Also as a digital nomad I travel to live in a country, I'm not a tourist that spends much money every day.

How do you deal with it? People tell me all the time that I'll get broke or that I should work more or that I have a sugar daddy. They ask me if this lifestyle isn't expensive. Obviously it is, but having kids also is super expensive.

The most funny thing is that I meet people that makes literally 10 TIMES MORE than me and they are jealous and ask me of I could advise them to make more and how much they should make to afford being a digital nomad.
