I'm really tired of writers like this who project their resentment and dissatisfaction with their own lives onto people they're jealous of. See also: every article written in the mainstream press about how annoying Burning Man is, every article trashing people for being on Ashley Madison, or last year's shit storm of hate against that couple that spends their life LARPing the Victorian Era.
The default mode of our economy and society is not at all defensible. Going to work 5 days a week to make somebody else rich is entirely, completely inhumane. Articles like this are supposed to make you feel smug about being stuck in what is, objectively, a complete nightmare of a life. And I am tired of reading this crap.
Also, as other commenters have pointed out, it's entirely possible to travel the world with savings of sub $5000 without a trust fund (or sleeping outside), but I imagine whatever terrified little baby wrote this article wouldn't be able to handle the level of trust you have to put in your fellow humans to pull it off.
