  That's nice to hear, guess I'm looking for some kind of social validation to quit caring about social validation and actually go ahead and move to the boat :) How large is your boat? Do you experience problems with heating during winter?

    Do it! I have a few friends that have lived on boats before, and it is cool. N.B. you'll need to develop clean habits, and some maintenance skills. Avoid a wooden boat for a first timer that isn't also a master carpenter.

    Wrt winter, the one I spent on a boat was the warmest I've ever experienced. It was less hassle to just keep the boat heated than to keep relighting the burner, and also good to keep damp at bay. It's a small space so relatively easy to heat.

    I'm on a 27 foot cape dory, a classic sailboat. it's jussssssst barely enough space for myself. I have a Dickinson marine diesel fireplace affixed to a bulkhead for when it gets cold, it'll run for a whole day on one gallon of fuel but makes the boat way too hot if left on constantly.
