Consider travel-based work opportunities. Try couch surfing. Look for house-sitting opportunities. Consider leaving home. Stand at the edge of the world, leap into your dreams and plunge freely into your new living-on-practically-nothing life.
There are many options for free or cheap travel through doing a specific job. However, most come with significant responsibilities. There are numerous online resources for finding these types of jobs. Try searching for a job title or description and a location and see what comes up. Some of the opportunities to consider include:  Moving yachts around the world for absentee owners or working as part of a crew for active yachts Delivering packages by hand as a courier on international flights Traveling as part of the crew on container ships (hard work!) Being a tourist guide (hiking trails, tours of historic buildings or ruins, etc.) Driving vehicles from one location to another location Teaching your language in another country This generally involves only a simple online signup before you're on your way. Organizations like CouchSurfing, Servas International, Global Freeloaders, and Hospitality Club allow you to stay with strangers for free or in return for some simple labor.These services are operated through an online network and operate all over the world.   Be sure to follow all the safety protocols in place and look for people who have a lot of good referrals, to be on the safe side. While the idea is to meet friends you've not yet met, always be cautious when meeting with strangers.  Home swapping can be another good choice if you own or rent on a permanent basis. There are plenty of opportunities available online; just be sure to do all necessary checks to ensure you're not inviting a house destroyer into your home! Check out http://www.caretaker.org to browse available opportunities. These vary from seasonal (beach houses, ski cabins, or homes where the residents are going away for a few weeks, months, or even years and need the house cared for), to permanent positions where you are essentially a "caretaker" of such places as hostels, retirement homes, lighthouses, organic farms, ranches, motels, or campgrounds, among others.  If you're looking for a comfortable and fairly extended length of stay in a place, and obviously if you want to be a caretaker, you'll need an established track record, possibly training in hospitality, and good references. But do persevere as this can be an incredibly good way to live cheaply. If you get a role as a caretaker, expect to do such tasks as taking tourists around, caring for animals and gardens, property maintenance, ensuring security measures are in place, cleaning pools, etc. Note that this is one role where "reverse age discrimination" is rife, as property owners want mature and reliable people over a certain age. Get out and see the world. Whatever your age, you can help others in your own country or overseas. If you're willing to volunteer organizations in such areas as health, reconstruction, conservation, sanitation, providing food and shelter, etc., you'll find a steady stream of free accommodation and food in return for your volunteering.  In most cases it's not likely that you'll get paid much, if anything at all, but the reward of free shelter, food, and doing good for humanity can be worth far more than a wage. If you have children, this option is harder to accommodate but some families still give it a go by checking out in advance that there is good schooling and decent living standards available; an experience like this can shape kids dramatically for the better, so don't dismiss it outright. One other, fairly drastic, change is to move to a country where your savings go a really long way. Search online for expatriate resources for global relocation; there are enough people doing this to warrant a small industry catering to them! Just remember, living on practically nothing requires effort, as with most good things in life, so don't equate it with doing nothing!
