If you don't like it, or can't stand to not buy a new car every few years and go out on bars, don't do it. Some appreciate the traveling more than "having fun" by spending money for "nice things" (which for a lot of people are BS throwaways, but they still moan that they can't afford to travel).
It's not like somebody put a gun on your head.
5-10K is by no means a "substantially small travel budget". In fact many middle class families in other parts of the world make it with that or less for the whole year.
Now, if you want to travel the world first class and stay on 5-star hotels, get the budget for it.
Not everybody needs or cares for that -- but we can still travel for months on end on far much less AND have fun.
