Mishaps and Memories

Mar. 21, 2006 - plans

SWMBO and I were discussing today our plans for a getaway on a boat towards retirement age....

 

original plan was to aim for when I am 55 to 60..... so a good few years...

 

We both  agreed today that earlier would be better.... the only constraint is while the kids are still dependent......

 

But we are now hoping to aim for 50 instead at the latest..... have decided to downgrade to a smaller house at the time, and basically go as soon we can have a budget of £6k per annum through to 65 after selling the house, buying a smaller one and chucking in savings and buying the boat that we'll do it on....

 

Dreams eh.... aren't they great!.... esepceially when they are shared!

I retire in July, and am buying a new boat - not to live on fulltime, but certainly for a month or three at a time. Perhaps I'm aiming at the best of both worlds!
I spent three months on board eight or none years ago, and that was on a 23 footer. So, it can be done.
I regard your blog quite regularly - always worth a look.
