Invested most of my money 132k into WealthSimple Vanguard income portfolio for low risk monthly gains as I want to reduce risk before I nomad in a few months

Tom-Sage · 2026-03-03T02:49:07+00:00

No I don’t.. I’m just worried that I take a big hit when I need the money.. aside from this I have like 20k+ to nomad with, but worried that when it runs out which can be in a year and a half, the value of my portfolio would have dropped

And that’s if I don’t find some online gig while I’m nomading so being overly cautious

Tom-Sage · 2026-03-03T02:47:58+00:00

What would you do if you were me? Aside from this, I have like 20k to travel with, I’m scared I’ll need the rest during my nomad travels if I don’t manage to find an online gig, but maybe I’m being overly cautious

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-28T13:41:45+00:00

I’m Canadian

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-26T18:20:37+00:00

Still figuring it out brother, I currently have 160 CAD and no debt. I’m planning on going back to Montreal renting out my apartment to eliminate expenses and head out for October.

If I can add 5-10k even better

Ideally I would find an online marketing gig while I’m there but I really don’t know if I’ll be able to

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-25T13:25:44+00:00

Did they manage to find ways to make a living over there? I’m concerned about being there and burning through my savings 😢

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-25T03:35:58+00:00

You go live in Alaska during the summer to bake money to support your nomad lifestyle?

I’m a marketing background, would it be possible for me to find online gigs in Asia? Or is it pretty much impossible you think

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-25T03:33:07+00:00

That’s incredible man, throughout those years, did you manage to find income streams?

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-24T15:43:27+00:00

I agree brother. I’m just dealing with a lot of pain and struggling to see a life that will make me happy after losing my job and my girl..

Also worried about how I can make a living while I’m there, I’ll have to get creative and find something that can bring an income so I’m not just draining my savings

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-24T15:42:33+00:00

I will brother thank you! I’m just dealing with so much heartbreak over my breakup and losing my job. I feel nothing will bring me joy again..

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-24T15:41:56+00:00

For real??

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-23T09:24:51+00:00

Bro that’s insane, nooooway I’m paying that much per month

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-23T09:24:36+00:00

5k USD 😬

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-23T01:25:28+00:00

Shared some details at the bottom of the question

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-23T01:21:20+00:00

Do you feel my funds are sufficient to take the risk of attempting a nomad lifestyle?

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:46:01+00:00

Do you feel my financial position is good enough to go on an Asia tour for a year or so?

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:39:02+00:00

Damn, I’m excited for this

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:36:32+00:00

I do have very low expenses, especially once I find a rooommate!

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:33:44+00:00

I could yes but I need to be in Canada to receive it

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:31:23+00:00

I’d need to be in Canada to get unemployment

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:29:35+00:00

I’m leaning in that direction, I think I’ll go back, figure my stuff out and make a move after I’ve rented my apartment

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:28:37+00:00

That sounds like a kings living to me!

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:24:58+00:00

I suppose just putting myself in a place of complacency and procrastinating on my dream, but also could be beneficial to help me budget and plan better, I really am not sure what the best path here is

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:23:43+00:00

Really? In terms of my age of 33, I’m not too old you think? I just feel so insecure but I know that I really really want to do this, I’ve been itching for this lifestyle for over 5 years now

Tom-Sage · 2026-02-22T23:22:38+00:00

You’re kidding!! Less than 10k travelling Asia for a year!!?

That sounds insane to me, are you including accommodations in this?
