Frequently Asked Questions
How much do digital nomads actually spend?
Most nomads spend $1,500-4,000/month depending on destination and lifestyle. Budget nomads in Southeast Asia can live on $1,000-1,500. Comfortable nomads in Europe typically spend $2,500-3,500. These figures include all living expenses but not taxes or savings.
What expenses do nomads often forget?
Common oversights include: travel health insurance ($100-300/month), flights between destinations, visa fees and extensions, coworking when accommodation WiFi isn't reliable, higher costs during peak season, and emergency funds for unexpected situations.
Should I budget more when starting out?
Yes. When you first arrive somewhere, you'll likely spend more - tourist-area accommodation, eating out while you find good local spots, transport while learning the area. Budget 20-30% more for your first month in any new location.
