Before I left I sold my car for $9k and all my stuff for maybe $6k. And I think I had $9k in savings before, so I started with about $24k which lasted me almost 2 years. But I did work odd job Craigslist stuff along the way occasionally. And near the end I got in debt a bit. But it was worth it I think. Now with the way remote work is I could travel indefinitely, but at that time I had less skills in programming and I really didn't wanna work in general.
