One of the biggest questions we’ve been asked through the past few years, always without fail, is “How are you two affording to do this at such a young age?”. Considering that yes, we did quit our jobs back in 2012, threw off our bow lines and haven’t really looked back since….I can see how this question may pop up a lot. Â Especially since we’ve now been sitting in a marina for the past two years remodeling a boat. Â Not the cheapest of projects, one can imagine.
I’ll answer you straight away that we are not trust fund babies. Â We never received sums of money from our families; and as much as I would still like for this to happen, we have not won the lottery either. Granted, your chances of winning are better if you actually play, but I can still dream that someone will show up on my doorstep one day with big bags full of money.
Nope, we got here the old fashioned way. Â Through lots of hard work, sacrifices, and good decisions. Â The money we saved up before traveling won’t last us forever; in fact we’ll be looking to work again come this summer or fall to fill our cruising kitty. But, we do get asked enough how we were even able to start in the first place that we thought we’d lay it all out for you in this week’s episode.
Enjoy!
