1. I mostly travel to lower income countries in South-East Asia. 2. My income is fairly high even for US standards 3. I usually travel for 3-6 months at the minimum. 4. I will just buy the nice monitor, keyboard, etc 5. I just go to the nearby university, find a random professor working in IT and ask him "Do you have a promising student in one your class, who you can tell is lacking some money to get a good equipment?"
And I just give it all.
It's a pricey strategy, I am probably forking 700-1000$ every 6 months but I don't really care. Last time I have see a young Thai girl cry because I gave her something should could have never afforded before finishing university. Was well worth the price.
And I am not compromising anymore with my own setup, so I have to buy at least 1-2 monitor.
