I like this mindset and have tried to adopt it as I’ve made some money. What has proven more insidious than being tempted to buy yachts though is just the daily creep of spending slightly more on everyday things or when you travel.
Humans have been traveling pretty much their entire existence. Being sedentary seems to be a much more recent development.
With the development of agriculture, people staying in one place seems to have been the normal for a while now.
Even with the hunter-gatherer societies we know about, AIUI, they tend to have a village/community from which they go out from, i.e., they are 'non-migratory'.
> Hunter-gatherers tends to have much greater home ranges than pre-industrial sedentary farmers. It has been estimated that pre-industrial English people living in small townships would have had a home range of 900 hectares (9 km2), close to that predicted for an omnivorous mammal of their same body mass.
