It’s like when you drive through an area that’s all McMansions you’re like “how they hell are there this many people with enough money and poor enough taste to own all these McMansions”? I guess the thing is that money people property sprawls out, whereas most of us live in a container city down a hole clustered around a sewer outlet so thousands don’t take up that much space.

A friend of mine used to work in a yacht club, albeit a very small one on a river, not the sea. He was firmly convinced that at least half of the boats belonged to the owners of craft businesses. He was of the opinion that the boats were bought with black money, either to be able to do something with the money or to sell the boats again later and launder the money that way. I don't know if that's true.

Floating homes for alcoholics? Pretty much anyone who can sign a down payment contract.

This boat made me fixated on the idea of buying a boat and living in it.

While the buying part is plausible.

The living is a lot fucking harder.

You have to really like being on the water. It's just as hard as living in an RV off grid.

everywhere I go in the world there are giant marinas with a million boats

I've told you a MILLION times to NOT EXAGGERATE!

And how do you get to go everywhere in the world, that marinas stand front and center of your attention? Could it be that you go... on your boat?

They aren’t as expensive as you think especially the shitty sailboats
