Thanks for sharing. You have goals similar to mine, including travel and music production.

> Go completely cashless

Just curious, could you explain your motivation behind it? In my case, I was actually thinking about doing the opposite, because I rarely use cash and feel like I spend more than I should due to not seeing the actual money leaving the wallet.

I'm a cash guy. It certainly easier to be more conscious of how much you're spending. I withdraw $200 from the bank roughly every 2 weeks so when I'm going to the bank sooner then I'm obviously aware I'm spending more. Since I've moved my bank is also further away which helps because as my cash on hand lessens I become more critical of the things I'm spending my money on because it'll mean I'll need to make a trip soon and many times it's just not convenient.
