Those viewing retirement as the true way to get away from it all may consider downsizing from a land home and moving to a boat. Living on the water represents a simpler life of freedom with fewer amenities, but the advantage of no more home and yard maintenance.
There is a wide range of boat options for living depending on where you want to go, boat size, and pricing. The choice comes down to choosing an oceangoing vessel or something more suitable for living aboard on a river, lake, or canal.
Ocean liveaboard boats can start with a monohull sailboat or multihull boat like a catamaran. A true sailboat offers the benefit of being powered by the wind and relying less on fuel only when you have to run the engine.
Those wanting more dependable travel on the high seas may opt for a trawler or superyacht depending on budget and the desired lifestyle.
The less adventurous may opt to enjoy living on inland waters such as rivers, lakes, or canals. The choices here range from static houseboats that are docked as a floating home or narrow and wide beam canal boats that must negotiate traveling through canal locks.
Council of Seniors Wants More Money in Your Pocket
Extra income can offset rising fuel prices, which is one reason why Council of Seniors is totally committed to getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. Because the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in some recent years hasn’t kept up with inflation, we need this bill to return $581 to seniors.
