I was merely offhanded mentioning what I was planning on spending the money I've saved by not owing high interest credit card debt. Partly as a way to share my excitement on a minor thing.
I've passed on the boat I looked at today as it's a bit too much work and money to bring up. I try to make sound financial decisions.
Bro Im not trying to add to a chorus of people who're gonna tell you not to have your hobby. I adore everything about sailboats, that being said, the only way I've seen anyone stay on top of the things is by living in it, which maybe you should consider. Mooring costs aren't as high as rent payments are, at least, not yet. Fuck if my wife would agree, that's exactly what I'd do in a heartbeat. Then I'd get the boat ready over a year or two and sail down to Patagonia and try to win over an adventurous penguin.
In a heartbeat.
And props on not carrying debt. Debt is just slavery with more steps. Jesus lost his shit one time in the bible. He even forgave his killers. But the fucking money lenders, the bankers, he fucked their shit up. Based Jesus. If he were around today, after a couple months he'd put down the internet porn, look around and say 'i fucking told you guys 2000 years ago, for fucks sake'.
