      I know plenty of people who are by no means rich who live on boats that size. Its basically the marine equivalent of living in a camper.

      My best friend lived on one for more than a decade. he got for like $3k and put like $9k of work into it. Had his first kid living on that boat because he couldn’t afford to live on land.

        That’s a whole different lifestyle tho, the orcas are not attacking the boat slips. Mad props to people who live on boats. In the 2008 recession it was a great housing option for the poor

      You might be surprised at how cheap these things can go. They are a lot to maintain but may not be so much to buy.
