This is why digital nomadism is so fascinating to me. People move to rural Thailand and make very low wages, for example $2k a month, from their online businesses and live like kings. $2k a month in the bay area is essentially poverty, but if people outsource themselves they can join the upper middle class, at least in another country using the so-called "micro multinational" strategy. This is what big business has been doing to the American worker forever. They've been doing production in countries where the cost of living is orders of magnitude cheaper and putting American workers out of a job because they can't work at the wages people do in other countries and still pay living expenses, especially when it comes to food, housing and health care. Health care is 1/10th the price in parts of South East Asia, for example.
