    Been to burning man 3 times, there are some trust fund kids but most are middle class and for them they plan and save about 8 months before hand and then suffer the financial consequences of going after for a month or two.

      I’m in the same boat. I went just after uni. It basically ate all my savings and forced me to take a shitty job after, but it was worth it.

      Building weird shit to take to the desert, and seeing all the other weirdos out there was inspiring.

      The arguments about the environmental cost are justified, which makes me sad. I had to fly across a continent and buy all sorts of stupid stuff.
