It depends on your income stream. On one hand, yes, you can make a lot of money if you have low living expenses and steady money coming in. On the other hand, you can dig yourself into massive credit card debt if you aren't bringing in enough money and are overspending on unnecessary lifestyle expenses.
Be smart about where you work, and make sure you have a reliable income stream before committing to anything serious. If you don't have a reliable income stream, all hope isn't lost. By relocating to a low-cost area (e.g., Southeast Asia) you won't need as much income to make ends meet each month.
