$52k a year is great. My wife and I spend 80k a year living on land. My medical is $18k a year because I'm in the USA and only at the age of 57. Thanks for sharing your costs. Sounds like a great lifestyle. Love your videos.

Good of you to make this video, Norm, no doubt it will help people understand the cost of this type of lifestyle and allow them to make the decision on whether or not it may suit them. Thank you for all the work you put into your channel, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to watching your channel in the coming year. Cheers Michael.

Norm could you do a segment on how you make your own rum on board the boat as bying it can be quit expencive . The expence run down was not as high as i would of thought it could be but it depends on the life stile of each person and boat size and capabilaty

Was going to do it a while ago, but it is an elegal practice and didn't want to risk fines etc. It is a lot cheaper than purchasing alcohol and better producr too.

Very helpful Norm - I'd give up the morning coffee so I could have an extra glass of wine and up here the fuel is a bit cheaper. Basically though I think you're spot on - besides once were gone it's gone so may as well spend some of it.

interesting, you obviously spend as you need to not extravagant but don't hold back. I am on a full pension and on a club marina and hardly ever leave my home waters (Lake Macquarie) as I don't want to. I don't do any maintenance myself and my annual costs, living alone are $18,000.

Boatie is a new term for us Yanks. Living on a boat is not terribly eccentric in my book (admittedly unconventional), but doing so without fishing at all just may qualify 😀 there is an interesting backstory there.
