Is it possible to be a "digital nomad" while living a life of luxury? Why or why not?

Absolutely! It just comes down to how much money you earn, and how much of that you're willing to spend. I know many people working online who make multiple 6-figure incomes. On that kind of money, you can easily live luxuriously, especially if you're in a cheaper part of the world such as Thailand.
