He lives on less than $20,000 a year, and can pack everything he owns into “four medium-size cardboard boxes, a suitcase and one over-the-shoulder bag.”
Obviously, this kind of life isn’t for everyone; however, he makes some good points about accumulating.
"Possessions tend to breed more possessions. Once I started ridding myself of them, it became clear just how little I needed and how easy it was to live without."Fonseca is conducting this experiment in itinerant living for a reason. He budgets his money very carefully and is always prepared for the “worst-case-scenario.”
"The fact remains, though, budgeting is only half the story. Even the most fiscally responsible person is going to fall off track unless he has a purpose, a goal worth saving toward."His goal is detailed on his 10 cities/10 Years blog. I’m guessing that we’ll see a book deal soon.
