I guess it depends on how you want to travel!

If you want to travel in first class, stay in luxury hotels and eat at the fanciest restaurants then you may have to be rich ( I say "may" since there are still ways that you can travel like this without money.)

However, there are always ways to travel without a lot of money. That's​ part of the fun of traveling for me. Finding those good deals and booking a trip on a whim!

The state I live in has the highest cost of living out of anywhere in America but my wife and I are still able to ​travel. It really comes down to what other sacrifices​ that you are willing to make in your everyday life that will allow you to do what you love.
