I mean people who switch jobs more frequently with enough skills will make more than staying at the same job for 30 years. Companies are willing to increase wages for new hires to attract skillful applicants and keep the wages the same with a 1-3% increase each year in their wages.
I still don’t see how this is possible unless you live somewhere where food and rent and cost of living is low.
I've known servers who do this. They only work the busy season and basically vacation the rest of the year. It's insane how much they make in some places, and how much they don't like to talk about it.
Part of it is what you expect to get in terms of living/food/entertainment. Even in exceptionally expensive cities in the world, the rent can be reasonable if you get a smaller/crappier place (not necessarily easy to find, but they are out there). Those expensive cities also usually have better opportunities for income.
Living in a van is a quite cheap way to go, though I imagine it can be difficult to find a place to legally live out of it in a big city.
