A retired couple living on a cruise ship is saving thousands of dollars

Angelyn and Richard Burk have spent the past few years of retirement bouncing from cruise ship to cruise ship exploring countries all over the world. They say all the traveling is actually saving them money. #CNN #News

great job . love that their life experiences and purchasing help paid for their easy retirement. nice story would more love more stories for sweet retirement in these troubled times.

To a person like me. That sounds exhausting. Shoutout to them tho. They are seeing some beautiful places.

[@KatrinaKrantz]

This is really cool for them and 35k is amazing. I'm just curious how they deal with yearly doctors visits and dentists, (any kids?), etc.

[@markotrieste]

This doesn't add up. 35k$ doesn't buy even three months of cruise.

It feels like being stuck in a fun house. One thing to the next to the next. No time to stop and reflect or grow. One shiny object to the next. It's a kind of drug. I can understand for like a full year or even two. But the rest of your damn life? Sounds disturbing.

There are gyms on board and medics and even a morgue!

beats living in a van

Las Vegas is pretty inexpensive. I stupidly moved from there to LA. I regret it

Don’t need to do laundry in a sink. We go to a local laundromat at a port stop.

75, 000 is a " frugal" lifestyle?

In the Netherlands …

[@Blueeyedsoul1986]

But you still gotta spend money to travel even if your retired

[@Suspinded]

Living off the lesser income with a $75k cost of living should set the barometer of approachability for this type of situation.

Living the dream, living the dream!✊️✊️✊️

Being fattened in the dystopian and completely artificial, wasteful, industrial human feeding farm of a cruise ship for the rest of your life must be a living nightmare.

[@Mandarella79]

I hope theyre documenting it so they can publish a cruise/travel book for even more retirement money once theyre back on dry land

[@naylas3908]

They don’t have kids, first of all, and what are they going to do when they start having the inevitable old age health problems?

[@fcf777]

Everyone pointing out the obesity please post photos of your ripped abs, SMH😂

[@4sstg]

They need more exercise. All you can ear buffets……. Are there gyms in the ships.?
