"You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."
Not yet, but having and living on a sailboat is my big dream. And my goal. This is why I put my HBD to savings. I currently have $898.16 HBD in savings.
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better."
This will literally be an experiment. I was not on a sailboat, but maybe I could get on one just to try it before I buy (or receive) one. Hopefully everything will be good. Hopefully I will get a sailboat, and I will be able to live on it for long term, so I could avoid paying high rent and high bills (compared to my low income, which is under the local minimum wage).
To be honest, I am a little bit scated about the maintenance. Many people say that it is very expensive to maintain a sailboat.
It so good to feel this ignited and inspired about something again.
Good luck and all the best with filmmaking (and with everything else). Maybe I will be able to participate in one (or more) of your future films with my future sailboat. Okay, this is maybe a very wild thought, but who knows. The future can bring literally everything. There are no limits. Just/only those we set for ourselves.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
You're making good progress! I would definitely speak with plenty of others who live on sailboats to try to learn from their experience. There are probably even YouTube videos about it. Maybe you could find one to rent for a week before you buy just to get a taste of the lifestyle. Boat maintenance is not cheap but if you learn how to do some of it yourself it'll save you lots of money. Have you ever considered living in a box truck or cargo van conversion? There are tons of people doing that here in American now to fight the high cost of living. That would be another option to living on the water if a sailboat proves too problematic.
Thanks! I love the idea of filming on the boat. Who knows what the future might bring? This might just happen one day. I hope you have a wonderful week!
I looked for RVs, but they are very expensive. They are around $4800 USD, which is approximately $1800 USD higher than my yearly/annual pension-like income, which is approximately $3000 USD per year. But of course I would love an RV with solar powered energy. No rent, no electricity bills. Free life. And I heard that it requires much less maintenance than a sailboat. My income in real life is very low, so I cannot afford high cost maintenances. Maybe a sailboat is not a good plan if it really requires a lot of money.
Now I checked the lowest prices of the box truck ($17 000 USD) and the cargo van ($9000 USD). Both of these are even more expensive than an RV ($4800 USD).
Even if I would plan to get an RV, it would probably take years to earn this amount, even with Hive. And I do not know what will happen next winter.
Don't give up on your dream @xplosive, where there's a will there's a way. Maybe the sailboat is only a shorter-term solution to allow you to save up for an RV eventually?
My dream is actually to avoid having to pay high rent and high bills (compared to my low, under the local minimum wage income), so not having to choose between paying rent/bills and buying food again. And I also do not want to become homeless again. This does not necessarily mean buying and living on a sailboat. Literally any solution would be good. And there is no point in buying a sailboat, if I cannot afford its maintenance. I would lose it quickly in that case, so that would be a waste of money, a huge failure, and I do not want that. The Hive blockchain community (you too) helping me a lot, and I would like to make a responsible (the best possible) decision. I am sure that there is a solution. I just have not found it yet.
I'm sure there's a solution too. Setting yourself up for a life of minimal expenses is very smart!
