You live on a yacht?
Yes and it's cheaper then you think, for me it's practical and gives me freedom.

Have you ever seen the show "Flipper," SH90?
I envision you being like the father on "Flipper." He was a practical man---but he also loved dolphins.
No I haven't... Most people who get to know me, would say I am practical and very resourceful. I've aways lived below my means, but I make the most of it. When I was homeless, by legal definition. I turned my Volvo station wagon into a really comfortable camper. I only slept in it and cooked small meals; I enjoyed the city and considered it my home. Later after working full time, I upgraded to something larger and made my own really nice RV. But it didn't look like one on the outside, but it easily would go head to head with the nicest small RV's as far as interiors are concerned. I lived in that while working full time and traveled on the weekends. Shortly after I tried traditional apartment living in a high rise and after being "homeless" for so long. I could never get use to living in such a large space. I eventually turned the room into a workshop and started a business out of it and lived only in the living room. I lost my full time job, I then pumped my time in my business and now it's starting to pay off... When I lost the job is when I bought the yacht and fixed it up. To me it's perfect, I own it out right and have less then $50,000 in it. It has 2 rooms and 1 bathroom, so plenty of room for myself and the occasional guess. The interior looks like a new yacht and has been completely refitted. I been thinking about upgrading though, something newer and a little bigger. My slip, with electricity and live aboard fee is usually less then $450 a month and is way cheaper then a apartment. I do high end upholstery, so more then anything it's a model of my work (hence my business owns it).
