*Is money and balls :)....Don't be kiddin' yourself, though.....It DOES take $$$$$ to travel and if something goes wrong and you end up stranded somewhere, you'll either have to use your wits to get back or call the folks for some dinero.......If you know a trade (like electrician or carpenter, plumber etc.), than the world is pretty much your oyster.....If ya get stuck somewhere, you can work your way back out or simply re-locate.....(Bummer on your g/friend holdin' ya back :(.......)
