Travel is a psyop meant to keep you poor.
It's just another way to consume.
You don't need to travel.
If you're an employee then you're already poor no matter what you're paid.
That's the only way you can afford to waste time and money on a frivolous trip. Paid time off.
If you're a business man or freelancer, the opportunity cost of travel is 3-4x times more.
You miss out on work, expenses are still happening, and you go somewhere to pay 2-3x times more to stay. And you spend even more to do stuff because going somewhere just to lounge by the pool is silly.
So no, don't believe the psyop. You don't need to travel 2 times per year just to show off some Instagram stories.
No, seriously, travel more. It's the best personal investment we can make in life.
