Everything is good on that front. I showed her some houseboats and she is starting to come around to the idea. She'll be done with her masters in December and wants to move out of state so long term we may be looking for a houseboat somewhere on the West coast.

Like a Seaboat?

OP what kind of lease did you sign? 6 Months? Year?



Did you know if you took that lease to the seas it'd be nullified because of maritime law? THat's a fact you should remember

Lol at the idea you could pay it off quickly if it sank but can't pay for it now without a loan.

OP has no concept of a sunk cost

Can you use that 401k tax credit to buy a houseboat, or is it only for land locked items only? that could be another 10k tax free if it's a possibility

Have you considered moving to one of the Scandinavian countries? Findland is the country of lakes which is arguably better than the state of lakes, and I'm sure you can find a houseboat there. The Euro is doing poo poo too so I'm sure you can find a more than decent deal there.

I'm trying to save money not waste it.

Did you try looking around the country for a project boat you could have shipped to a storage or something, then overtime pay someone to repair it? I mean that's kind of like a loan but instsead of getting the money upfront you're just depositing it to a repair man until you're seaworthy.

I'm interested in hearing any other opinions you may have about financial stuff. For example "I could retire comfortably if I had $_______."

Financial Independence for me is the name of my boat.
