Ah you mean all those countries I can't actually live in. Yeah, helpful.


My point is not to say that you can't struggle with 66k a year. I imagine it can very much be so in the US, or Monaco, or Switzerland. It's just that

> You would not be able to buy a house, support a family, have some hobbies, with a 66k/year salary in most of the major cities of the world nowadays.

Someone who can work fully remote globally with a 66k year salary will def. not be short of places where they can live extremely comfortably. Since we are talking about digital nomads, who can work from everywhere, I do think they constitute as very very rich in this context. When we think of those who would be able to apply for a digital nomad visa, in a global context, would be only those who are in the global top 1%.
