A disproportionately high amount of lemmy users is older and in tech, so probably doing better than average.
For me, it’s living in Europe. I can get a train ticket to Paris and back plus a few night in a cheap hotel for 2 days wage. Less for Prague, Vienna, and a lot of other cities.

I refuse to use planes for inner European journeys. And from where I am right now, I have direct trains to Zurich, Vienna, Prague, Verona, Rome, Paris, Berlin etc.
