    What about if you live in the real world? If I fell asleep for three months I’d wake up ten grand poorer. It’s great that you can completely uproot yourself for three months and then comeback and restart life and somehow save money, but that is so incredibly unrealistic. My bills don’t stop because I took a cheap trip to Brazil.

      Yeah it’s a different lifestyle and not appealing or possible for everyone in every situation of course (not that I implied it was but for some reason I feel the need to defend my self on that point). I get that the systems we all live under have many of us completely captured by debt or bills and impoverished to the point where the major concerns in life are getting enough to eat each day and not freezing to death homeless out on the street. It’s conditions like that elsewhere in the world which cause people to emigrate in search of a better life in the USA, ironically.
