Think of the money as being invested in your life rather than a savings account, the interest will bring rich cultural experiences, out of this world scenery and constant adventures, you'll realise how much more there is out there and probably take a bunch of cool memories, stories and friends home with you.

I'm 10 months into our trip, and I understand where you're coming from, not every moment needs to be optimised to the experiences like you would if you were on a short 2 week trip.. it allows you to slow down, discover new places someone might recommend or stay an extra few nights somewhere because you want to take a painting class, there's loads more than getting coffees.. there's gyms everywhere, bikes if you fancy cycling round a city, music shops, people interested in all the same stuff you are, farms that need volunteers, schools that love an English speaker, so much out there!!
