This is bubble thinking/feeling, sure in bubbles like SF or some mega cities this can and is happening to some extent, but world as a whole keeps going and doesn't stop. For every vocal digital nomad there are 100 folks in same industry who just settle, which can mean a lot of things, not just stereotypical US version "I must own my house or I am a complete loser" (which btw ain't true in any meaningful way and doesn't bring any form of long term satisfaction or happiness, but thats for longer discussion). Even generation ago there were generally exactly same issues for exactly same limited resources like housing, people just got a grip and worked on their goals instead of endlessly complaining how life is unfair specifically to them that they don't have fully paid mortgage by 35 and retire at 50. I know tons and tons of young people very capable and eager to work in stable corporate environments, way more than I experienced in my days, you just have to zoom out a bit. But this mundane truth doesn't fit popular negative narrative so popular also here with these topics. Adventures and this are not mutually exclusive, sabbaticals are often used for anything between 3-24 months. If you can't cover the scratch even in 2 years, yeah this ain't life for you (which is an important discovery of course, the sooner it happens the better, but comparably very few find nomading say after 40 as something great). I've done my share of longer term backpacking mostly in Himalaya, but have it as a long term lifestyle? No thank you, prefer weekend adventuring and raising kids someplace more safe and stable, being close to say tropical beach ain't the most important QOL item on my list.
