    The biggest chunk is affording rent or a home close enough to a beach area. If you can work some artisanal wood carving job or something where you can set your own hours, but make good enough money to cover your basics, then you’re set.

        Not to mention the demand to make those skills, profitable enough to meet your needs. There’s only so much demand for skilled woodcarvers in any particular area.

        Yeah that’s what I’m saying. There aren’t that many jobs that you control the hours for and yet pay well enough to live within walking or biking distance to the beach (at least in America, I’m sure you could live in lower cost of living countries as a “digital nomad” and ruin the local economy).

        But… if you can swing that type of thing, you don’t need to be like rich, just well off enough to afford it.

      Live in an old van, and that gets a lot cheaper.
