RE: living aboard

A boat is useless unless you have land access.

The question is how much you will be paying for the access.

Go cruising , shore access (very limited time) at public docks and its almost free.

Tie up in a primo marina , pool tennis perhaps golf near by , 24/7 armed? security , private parking spot and boodles of electric will cost.

Boat maint costs will depend on the boat if not cruised and on ongoing costs like fuel if cruised.

Most folks aground in their own coffee grounds , the I'll be cruising soon" liveaboards seem to find living dock space for $600 to $1000 a month .If you are willing to be Nowhere , $300 month is possible.

IF you desire insurance , that costs too.
