What we talk about at the end of this episode is really what it all comes down to. Anyone can pursue this dream, it just takes a little bit of action and a whole lot of perseverance. Dreams weren't made to just be dreams. Here's an easy read that we both revisit once a year to help keep us on track - amzn.to/2JpCiJi
Abandon Comfort love u guys amazing story
Joseph todd thank you so much for the kind words and support 🙂
OK you guys now get going!😎
Okay I get it, but it's tough to buy into this. I desire this life, but I make about $350-400 per hour when I work, and I work about 1800 hours a year. The government takes about 43% per year. But for every hour I work at my job, that's a whole lot more than what it would cost me to have someone do the labor on a boat, certainly if we figure I am very good at my job, and not very good at boat works. In addition my company funds my 401k, pays my health insurance, I get an education fund 15k a year, plus other benefits that last year pushed me over 700k total. Where do you cross the line? Where can you say, "hey it's better to work and pay for this and that, than to stop working and do this and that myself" ? I am not bragging or boasting, you guys were honest with your numbers, so I am doing the same.
Geezergamers, Well you don't need to do it on the cheap. If you can work part time you should buy a good boat and sail away for 6 months a year if you have that dream. But if you can't give up you lifestyle then keep working. I own 2 business, work very hard , I need to be there every day , I have employees that I feel responsible for and customers to service. I have never made the kind of money you make or AC do , not even close but I'm a hard worker it's what I do. But I'm trying on retiring gracefully before I get over 60. I have saved hard and can afford to fix up my boat when I get time and hope to get some years doing my passion before getting too old. ( I do race sailboats on weekends). I could have ,and probably should have, gone off sailing after college but that was the recession of 79-80 , 20% inflation, 12% unemployment and No savings. And family to payback. I had to grasped at any opportunity that came my way so worked hard.
I cannot recommend what these 2 are doing more. Go for it . Screw saving for some life in the future get out their now. Do what is you passion.
Cheers warren
I love how freakin HONEST you guys are! That is what attracted me to binge watch your youtube videos. You guys are so freaking helpful. Like Alyssa Ramos says "your dreams don't work unless you do". It's become my mantra as of late.
Added it to the quote bible. Love it!
Great vid and message. Cant wait to see you guys out cruising and living your dream you've both worked so hard for. Fair winds.
Your candor hoists your channel to the top of my viewing selections! Congrats on your sense of security that enables your sharing your finances with us.
I can not thank you enough for how transparent you are with your personal information. I know that full transparency of such personal information can be uncomfortable, however it is invaluable to a person like me trying to work towards the goal of cruising the world. I never comment on videos but I thought that your sacrifice of transparency deserves recognition. So thank you for the true information.
Thanks for explaining what it takes. I'm 50 and in the last two months have decided I want to get a sailboat and travel, thanks to your videos and others like you.
Alan Jones awesome. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can help in any way. Dream big, go small, start now!
Alan Jones Allan, I am 60 and I have decided to buy a boat and sail for a few years. Have been they a lot in my life Especially the last 10 years, a lot of hell. Two years is my goal to be in the water. During that time I have a full time job, self employed , and will be setting up a RUclips channel and trying to find a way to generate an income from it so I can travel.
Where are you living and where do you plan to sail?
Thank you, I really appreciate the opportunity to see you kids chase your dreams!
I’ve been watching you guys, SV DELOS, and your friends sailing SV FREEBIE for awhile now. I think what I enjoy the most about you guys is your openness and more importantly, your transparency with the financial aspect of it all. Please keep on doing what you do. I live vicariously through you guys.
Just gotta say, you guys rock!
Thank you for the most candid vids on the internet that I've ever subscribed to.
Smooth seas and following winds...
Awesome job on your boat, transparency on your costs, and your goals for a minimalist future full of happiness. Also appreciate the mention of the Mr. Money Mustache website. All the success!
It's always nice to get a honest, nice overview of the behind-the-scenes of cruising life. I'm too old and not in a place where I can decide my own fate anymore, but I find it heartwarming to see that there are young and old folks out there who are pursuing their dreams, and who are doing so responsibly. Doing the math, getting it all sorted, and going for it.
You go guys!
As we near giving notice at our jobs and renting our home out to live a life of adventure (In a 4x4 for now, not a sailboat, yet) episodes like this are pivotal in remembering that this can work and it's all worth it. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great video and thank you for the honesty!
Thank you so much for all that y’all do for the viewers. We really appreciate it! You guys are so inspiring
Just started following you. I'm 34 and moving to Florida to sail. It's neat to see common interests among people pursuing their dreams, as I've been reading Mr Money Mustache's blog since the early days and really enjoy Tim Ferris books. See you in the Caribbean!
Every episode is awesome, but episodes like this are the reason I subscribed, love what you guys do!
Thanks for being so honest guys, best of luck with all your travels. Its about time you get to go sailing after all your hard work.
Love the numbers episodes!
Great video guys. Can't wait to see you guys out there sailing.
You guys are awesome and have been a huge help to me moving forward towards my boat with a 9 to 5 job. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for sharing the details of how you are making this happen!
Great job guys! Happy to see you on the water!
You guys are such an inspiration! I love watching these kinds of episode because it breaks it down and really show how you made it happen and how we can make it happen. Thank you so much for all your work and producing these videos! Someday I hope to be out on the water with y'all!
I admittedly follow quite a few sailing groups, but rarely comment. I always appreciate the cost review episodes of yours as so few even touch on the subject. Good work! Look forward to your sailing experiences as they come!
Can't get much more candid than this. I certainly appreciate it - my goal is to slip lines in time for my 45th, thanks to you two. Thanks again!
Thank you for the motivation!! I'm turning 40 this year... it's so crazy... This summer I will be following my dreams while my son is away :-) You are amazing!!
Another great episode. There were some great ideas to jot down for later, inspiring and informative!
And we will!! Course I'm 63 and planning our dream!!thanks for inspiring us
Excellent fiscal explanations... very helpful, and realistic. It also helps that you are both very personable and frank with your comments.
Videos like this one, and channels like yours, have inspired me to build my own boat while I work on some of my other goals. Thanks for all you do!
Best content yet. Thanks and keep up the honest, great work....
I have been a sub of yours since the beginning. It's amazing to watch your dreams coming to fruition. I must say that I had that dream once, but sometimes life has a way of stealing it from you. Life, a wife and just having our second child has a way of changing your goals in life( sometimes without even asking you. LOL)
I live my dreams through your channel and I think you are the best sailing vlog on RUclips. Keep of the great work.
It is wonderful to see two young adults with a dream, and a plan to do it. Also two young adults not afraid to work. You have done very well. Thanks
Exactly, a rich person is not the one who has the most but the one who needs the least.
I love you guys and I look forward to when I can get out there on the water myself. Thanks for all the great videos and keep up the awesome work you guys do.
Coming from an old timer, you young guys are are doing a fantastic job, there’s always unexpected extra costs involved in sailing, whether it be maintenance, refitting and off course mooring fees and keeping the boat on the hard. You two have sensible heads on your shoulders and a lot of good friends to help with costs. Another thing is thanks for your honesty and fantastic work so far. 🏴⛵️
Kudos to you guys for being straight up with your numbers. Vey few RUclips channels are straight up about their numbers; hell very few are even close to transparent. My hat's off to you both
Love your spirit and willingness to share some reality. Dreams can come true! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for sharing your numbers. You guys always give me food for thought. Getting a survey on a 37 endeavor this week. Its about time to for me to "pull the trigger".
It is great that you share openly the financial aspects of your venture, but myself look forward to the actual adventures you three will share... see you next time !
Outstanding videos! I'm really happy for you guys making your dreams happen through your hard work.
Really enjoying watching these while I wait for surgery. I’m going to be double your age before I go but that’s the choices we made too. Happy sailing!
I'm 28. Next week i'm doing my first sail on my own boat! (On a nurse paycheck) Chasing the dream :) great helpful video's!
I own a construction company, just bought a 37ft ketch. Chasing the dream :)
We bought a Mottle 33 centre cocpit pocket cruiser and I followed my own advice.... evertything you want is on the other side of certainty and comfort. Were doing this ! its official. Thank you guys for the inspiration and openness,
Thank you for sharing! Can not wait to see the places you will go!! You guys are awesome!! My favorite thursday channel ;) ♡!!
Your transparency is admirable. Something few creators are doing.
thanks for sharing , i would love to see one more tour of your big boat !
You youngsters! Living the dream and looking like the cast from Twilight - You guys rock! May the winds of destiny always be in your favour.
Thank's for being so open. I find it very helpful for planing my next adventure in life.
Love your spirit. Keep up the good work 😀
MMM started me on FI, and i chose the boat life to support that. glad to see you are fans too!
Good episode. Your honesty in showing your numbers demonstrates transparency and will inspire others. Hope you buy Roo a bone or two with your earnings.
Y'all ROCK!!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you, Skip!! Can't tell you how much we love the snubber. Hope you guys are getting ready to head south again sometime next fall!!
Great honesty - Well done !
Great video, as always!
Awesome. Thank you for the strait scoop. I just got to meet Liz Clark this week, and she gave the same advice. Follow your dream, stay focused on what you really want.. I look forward to seeing you out there.
ps my pocket cruiser for your list is a Trintilla 1a 1967.
Great job on this one guys, keep it up
I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. Hopefully you'll start getting into the cruising next time!
Loved your channel, you guys are awesome!
Love you guys! Can’t wait for the proposal episode =D
Thank you!!! I REALLY appreciate your openness with the numbers! That's why I started watching you in the first place. The numbers add reality and one can adjust their plans up or down with some reference. (your mileage may vary ;)
I've been following you two since the beginning and am looking forward to leaving the asphalt and concrete behind. My wife, our bloodhound and myself have been looking at boats for a bit and after being in an 18-wheeler for 5yrs we are definitely used to small spaces. We agree with your comment on how big is the dream vs. how big of a boat. While we aren't going to go for a 50-55 we are looking at 40-44, just because of the extra space we will need. Looking forward to more episodes and who knows, maybe you'll make it up to my home state and hike Denali, though I suggest going twice, once in the summer, and once in the winter. Alaska is a different place both seasons!
Nice to see you guys, you done well so far...👍
Great message. JUST DO IT!
Best honest look at costs I've seen. Thanks!
Awesome vlogs guys good luck love♥️🏴
Numbers numbers numbers numbers.... that's office talk. I watch you guys because I love living your life while my work and swamped in my office job. I have my head phones on listening to you guys making it and getting ready to travel the world. I appreciate your drive and open numbers. Keep up the shows. I can't wait till you travel so I can come with you (in my dreams at work). Tims is awesome. Your in good hands.
Love the videos guys. I am keen to see that list :)
Thanks guys, this was a very informative and inspirational video.
GREAT video! Very informative and entertaining. Love the straithforward-no-bs style. Fanstastic end message. Subscribers +1.
The most important part of all this, is that, because you did the boat yourselves, you know the boat inside out. If you had paid someone to do the work you wouldnt have had half the confidence in the boat that you have. Good vid.
Thank you for being so transparent, this video really helps anyone looking to getting into long distance sailing and possibly starting a RUclips channel, that was my dream, I retired two years ago at age 51, me and my girlfriend liquidated two houses and 3 rental properties, plus sold everything we didn't need gave away a lot of stuff, we purchased a Lagoon 440 Cat at a very good price, it needed some work, so we spent the last two years in Big Pine Key, Florida prepping the boat for the big day when we untie the lines and sail to the bahamas, well in a matter of a few days are dream was destroyed, the boat was a complete loss due to the hurricane, thank god we had insurance, with in two weeks after getting are insurance money we started shopping for another boat, we ended up buying a Privilege 615 Cat, this boat is in mint condition, financially it set us back a little, but we were ready to sail, didn't want to stay in a marina and do hard labor again, so buying a boat that is ready to sail was are best option, we have been in the Bahamas for about 6 weeks, are monthly expenses average about $1500, my monthly pension is about $7800 and Julie is a songwriter from Nashville, she gets a check each month from ASCAP royalties, she has cowrote 9 #1 hits and a slew of others that has charted very well, we have a decent savings, as long as we don't have any major break downs or health issues, we should be okay, we have health insurance, but being in a foreign country not sure if they except American health insurance.
This had to be a tough video to make, much appreciated on the $$$ candor... Thanks...
Thank you for sharing your financing. You are inspiring :)
Well done guys!!!
Oh My gosh! I liked you guys a lot before this but her "third and final trilogy" comment and the way you responded was incredibly endearing. So Dang Cute!
Love you both! Can't wait to watch more. Aloha!
Love the honesty 👌🏼
Good Tube guys, very informative and what many people want to see.
Great video. Great info. You guys figured out at 27 what we didn't figure out until 52, Priorities, priorities, priorities. And, every dollar not spent is a dollar you don't have to produce!
Love the inspiration. Live the dream, don’t live to dream. ❤️
You guys are fantastic!
That's great detail on things, and corollary expenses, that are very easily not considered beforehand, cheers, excellent. And good luck, by the way.
Love this guys, and don't forget - Count the equity in the boat too!
It's not all money spent or poured down a hole. The boat has a dollar value and although it will depreciate regardless, you have so far improved it's value. There is some money in the boat that will come back to your at some point, so count that into this budget period of time too, or at least don't count everything spent as gone forever.
Great episode you guys.
Another thing to consider is everything you do and don’t pay someone else, will save you both money and headaches in the future. Having worked in construction, I believe you should know how to work on everything in ones world and then decide if you fix the problem or hire someone else. Knowledge will also help you know when the job is being done correctly. Invaluable.. thanks for putting this video together
Came for the dream, stayed for Roo. You both rock and inspire me. I'm a land lover that works as an electrician (Horrible pay in Florida for blue collar workers, $18 hr) and wants to build a travel trailer out of a cargo trailer. Stuck on the size (02 F250 diesel/7'x14' or F150 4.9/6'x10') and doing it alone. Decisions, decisions, but keep living the dream, y'all, I'm rooting' for you both.
I pull a 7'x16' double axle with an F-150 4x4 with no trouble! Oh and I had the factory add 6" of height to the trailer so it is 7' on the interior. Bought it new in Somerset, Ky at Gatormade back in 2006 for $3700!
Kap - I think you'll know our advice :) F150 and smaller box. Where in FL are you located? We'd love to maybe offer some time to help. Your dream is totally viable and something we've always wanted to do as well so it'd be great to see it all come together. Let us know!!
Abandon Comfort I'm in St. Petersburg, Fl. Actually, Pinellas Park, Park Blvd and 52 Street. Lol. I'm a small, bare bones, organic, yada, yada, yada, kind of guy.
Hotrod Hog Thanks for the advice, HotrodHog, but I kind of agree with AC so I can go off road (maneuverability), stealth boondocking and I love the .300 I6 engine. Just gotta find one in 4x4 with decent miles.
Kap E right on! Well please keep us posted on when the build starts and everything. Hopefully timing will be on our side and we can swing by to lend a hand or share a beer while you tell us about the dream!
I am 52, married, have a 18 yr old in her freshman year of college and a 16 yr old son that is a sophomore in high school. Really wish the internet and RUclips was a thing when I was in my 20's. Keep on living the dream, I a willing to bet I am not the only one living vicariously through you and your videos!
Thanks for sharing!
Always love the transparency/numbers vids, keep it up!
RUclips gave me a prompt to work on the subtitles so I touched them up a bit for you guys - hopefully got all the boat and equipment names right! You got a couple of Australian/UK 'S's where you'd probably expect 'Z's, you can keep those as my gift :D
Thanks for sharing. Great video. Good data.
Eye opening and educational.
Great videos guys!!! I am dying to RV all through out america!!!!!!
Thank you for the read of the alchemist. That was a great read.
One of our favorites!
Well now you have really won my heart. Mentioning a Cape Dory. But you don't need to go as small as the "25". Over the past few years the price of these boats has come down quite a bit. I have owned a 30' and now a 36'. And while a Rassy would be my ultimate boat, the CD is extremely capable and I could be a one man spokes person for these boats. Cheers and all the best to you, John
Awesome video!! I want to start traveling with my dogs across the country and your videos have been very helpful with insight into budgeting and cost! (I started with your traveling across the country video) But how about the amazon Affiliate program do you guys have any type of income from that? Was looking at possibly getting that for my channel so my subscribers could use that link and help support it. Thanks for all the videos guys!
I love your honesty and transparency. I have begun my true journey of saving now at age 39. Saving 30% a year of 200k income. Of course me and my wife's dream is a cattle ranch in Montana. Still a costly adventure which is probably just as close to owning and sailing a blue water boat. I admire you both being able and capable of filming and sharing your dreams with us. Keep up the great work and I look forward to watching more of your adventure.
shiznit93274 thanks for sharing your dreams! We love hearing about what everyone’s thinking for their own great adventure. Where in Montana are you guys looking? We both fell in love with West Glacier area. Really think we may end up buying land out there for our tiny house one day.
Looking at the Kalispell area. I really love the valley there. And there are so many parks surrounding it. A lifetime of adventures surely awaits me there.
I understand about the time needed to create a youtube video. The few videos I have done take about about two hours per minute of production. That includes acquiring the footage, reviewing the footage, story boarding, editing, reviewing, more editing, more reviewing, rendering, and finally uploading. I am sure I as you do more, you get quicker, but it still takes time.
Thank you for sharing! My wife and I subscribe to a couple young cruising couples and love seeing y’all living your dreams. We plan on looping and talked about 8 years from now but I think that’s going to be pushed up 4 years. We want to enjoy as many years on the water as possible. Saw the USAA logo. Who’s prior service?
Thanks so much for the candid explanation of expenses....
Thank you even more for the inspiration ;o)
You two are the epitome of the true wonderer's dream.
I didn't realize that you all were Mustachians, but this makes perfect sense after thinking about your earlier videos. I'm also a bit Mustache-obsessed! Working on the 2 year to FF, and then hopefully I'll be out cruising too! :-)
