Speaking of #wanderlust and #yolo, how about this couple? Sounds like a pretty typical 30-something CBC couple:
- good jobs out of school
- probably lived at home while in school and may have had tuition paid for by their parents
- parents pressured them to buy a house because that is the thing Chinese people do
- amassed 500K in cash (not hard to do if they were both making 6-figures and pretty typical for stay-at-home CBCs who didn't throw away their money on booze, expensive restaurants, and European cars.
Thoughts? If they plan to stay DINKs for life, they can probably get the travel out of their system system by age 45 and buy a small house outside of a major city to settle down and live off their investments and whatever consulting income they can generate.

It kind of reminds me of this thread on BCsportbikes which is a great read if you ever have some time even if you aren't into bikes. There 4 years into it, they've been around the world and some of the photo's are pretty good. It would make a hell of a coffee table book.
