I guess that's basically my plan; I am saving like 40% of my bring-home pay every month. My plan is to travel with it until I am broke. But I am in a lease until the end of May; and have only recently gotten in the black after dealing with debt and outstanding legal issues (~4k in cash). I estimate I will have ~10k at the end of May for that purpose. (no family or significant ohter)
instead of traveling, maybe you should try to start your own business with that capital instead. for someone with the degenerate poker player personality type, the only sustainable career paths are vagrancy and owning a business.
