I was replying to a comment saying something like "why bother about having a job? Just read books, travel around the world, there's so much to see!"
To live such a life you need quite some money.
no, you don't. books are really cheap, libraries are everywhere. and you can also travel cheap, people backpack all around the world every day. sure you will still need some money, but certainly not "few hundred million dollars", that is way overblown...
