How much are the usual earnings of a digital nomad? (aka how much are you making?)
I feel most earn only $1000 to $2000 and spend it ALL on travelling. I don’t think thats mentally and financially sustainable.

I make 6 figures in tech. No dependable and I actually save when abroad because I go to cheaper destination than home + sublet my place. I’ve been able to save a considerable part of my income while doing so. I travel on and off (it’s hard to sustain nomading constantly with a demanding job + I enjoy going to the office once in a while).
1000$ sounds like someone who is self-employed without sufficient clients, very entry-level / part-time and/or coming from a country with low waves compared to Western Europe / North America.
Lots of people call themselves digital nomads while, in theory, they quit their job and live off savings / small gigs then they return home when broke. Some are using lower costs of living in Asia, for example, to bootstrap a business idea. It’s very different than the employed nomads or settled entrepreneurs and the latter usually don’t travel full time or super fast - it’s unsustainable with the need to be productive
Asking all the other devs in this thread the same question, but I’m guessing you are working remotely abroad without telling your employer right? on travel visas? I’m fully remote but all the roles I ever see being advertised restrict me to stay in my country.
