12 Reasons You’re Not Traveling Right Now and How to Break Free

2. You don’t have the money

Money is probably the main reason people don’t travel and it’s fair enough. If you don’t have it, how can you spend it? Or maybe you think traveling is expensive and you’ll never be able to afford it. The reality is that you do have money, you just don’t spend it on traveling! When you add up how much you spend on your car, clothes, or eating out, you see that the money is there.

You have to be willing to change your lifestyle a bit in order to travel more. And believe me, you don’t even need that much money. If you choose to stay in hostels or Airbnbs, and travel using low-cost companies, bussing, or even hitchhiking, then it’s a lot cheaper than you think.
