This. I live like a student still. Class wars is a zero winners game. Expensive toys and things buy me nothing. My entire worth is about 600GBP. I shop at the cheapest places and grow some of my own food.
I have no intention of using the extra time I'm gaining doing anything other than having fun. I can afford to take 7 years out now which is good for 10 years work.
I too have a boat (a widebeam canal boat) which is being slowly refurbed in my spare time. When it's done, I'm living on it with my family.
- seanmcdirmid 14y agoFamilies are expensive. Tough to convince the wife that we should live like students.
- meaty 14y agoDepends who your wife is. All we need is each other (I've been married for 12 years have 3 children and have lived like this since day one).
- dwiel 14y agoIf this lifestyle is important to you, it seems natural that you'd want to find a lifelong partner that has similar feelings. One of the most common reasons for divorce is disagreements about money. My expenses didn't go up when I began my relationship with my wife, and went up about 15% when my daughter was born. From $1400/mo to $1600/mo for the whole family.
