I've had this plan when I was 18 and now that I'm 22 I'm not so happy with it. I've had a bit of luck and acquired a dirt cheap apartment this year so maybe frugality will pay off but so far I feel like it's holding me back.

I've driven from AK to Argentina (2 years) and around Africa (2.5 years and counting). Lived in the Yukon and went to Alaska all the time. I've snowboarded multiple 100+ day seasons, been a kayak guide, hiking guide, snowboard instructor and now I'm a freelance travel writer and photographer.

I've never owned a TV or a new car, never lived alone (always in a share house) and I've never bought a phone, I just get old, old ones off friends.

It's working great for me.
