How to respond when people say you're so lucky to be traveling?
I decided to quit my job, sell my house, vehicle and 90% of my things and travel. It was a major decision and it took some time to finally do it all.
I get irritated and want to lash out when people say things like "omg you're so lucky". I don't feel luck has anything to do with it. Yes, I was smart with my money but no luck there either just saved and invested wisely. Maybe a well thought out risk is a better term?
I know the lifestyle isn't for everyone but its how i have choose to live, nothing to do with luck. If anything the reasons and events that brought me to the final decision were painful and fucking hard as hell so luck isn't a great definition.
Does anyone else feel the same way? What are your thoughts? Do you respond or ignore those naysayers? I most often choose to not respond but obviously the comment today sprung a nerve.
