<prompt> Human: Im 22 years old and now have about 12k in savings. Id like to think that Im doing pretty well for my age. I am adding to my savings at a rate of about 1.5k-2kmo. I dont make tons of money my salary is around 34k but I am very frugal and live in a relatively inexpensive area so probably about 70 of my income goes into savings. However, my girlfriend and I are planning on leaving our jobs to spend a couple months traveling. Id then like to take some time to work on some farms. Although I wont be making much money Im confident that with my frugality and thriftiness Ill be able to live on next to nothing housing and most of my diet will be free. Is this irresponsible or is it okay to cut into my savings a bit at my age?EDIT I should clarify, when Im talking about travelling I mean spending time on the road- buying any airfare and going to Europe or something.EDIT 2 Not that it makes a huge difference, but I have projected that I will have about 15-16k in savings by the time I will be leaving.  <response>: I would think if you can stick to a budget your thriftiness; I say go for it bc youll probably only have this opportunity once you dont want to regret it later on.
