The solution is not to increase your income to compensate for the costs of living, but instead to lower your standards. I go off-trail camping every year and never think about the costs because it’s fucking cheap. Getting away from civilization is the vacation. See you around the campfire!
You sound pretty offended. I was merely offering it as an inexpensive option and I stand by my original statement.
Camping is pretty cheap compared to other vacation types, where most would spend hundreds if not thousands staying at a hotel, dropping plenty on food, entertainment, transportation (planes and car rental) and who knows what other expenses.
I don’t spend more than $20-30 a night on all expenses. Initial costs might seem daunting to you, but you can get a tent, a sleeping bag, a cooler with food and a lighter for less than $150. If you can’t afford that, you need to reprioritize some things in your life.

EDIT - Downvoting is easy. Haters gonna hate!
Oh wow, so I need to get a car, camping supplies, and to take time off from work that I don’t have.
This doesn’t sound cheap, it just sounds like you have the means.
Be as apathetic about the state of the economy as you want. The rest of us will fight for a better life.
