Houseboat Girl

Houseboat Girl

Welcome to “Life as a Liveaboard!” I’m 24 and live on my tiny houseboat, when I'm not traveling around in my converted van! (With my husky, Kenai!) This channel is to show aspiring boaters and van lifers what it’s like to live on a boat and in a van, and why it’s so worth it! Enjoy!

    I lived on a 55' Seagoing houseboat for 5 years. It had two 318 Chryslers with Dana stern drives, a 6.5 KW Onan generator, full amenities. I miss it!

    Don’t forget all these too…Cell phone, internet, water, food, car, car insurance, sewer, school loans, credit cards, medical insurance, annual tabs for car, birthdays/holiday gifts, maintenance and repair costs, life insurance, retirement, childcare, pet expenses, extra circular activities for kids, fun money

    This KZreadr simply broke down the cost of living on a houseboat. What you mentioned are other daily life expenses that would be there regardless of where you're living, and will vary person to person based on their own requirements.

    Not saying insurance on a home isn't a good idea, but insurance companies are scam artists. They try to find any reason they can to avoid paying you and will pay you as little as humanly possible.

    That's smart! Boat living in MD will be comparable to a house as far as my taxes. I won't be penalized for living on a boat vice a house. I plan on renting my home for cost just so I don't lose my investment but the renter will be responsible for fixing anything they break.

    Her costs are not bad at all. My mortgage with VA loan in the DMV in 2014 is $1,119 and HOA is close to $100. I have solar and my car is paid off. Water is so cheap I can pay that several months at a time. Maybe $20 a month? Not to mention $130 for car and house insurance.

    746 a month is a steal when it comes to cost of living. For a lot of people, they're coughing up over 2k a month just for a studio apartment.

    I’m sorry but if I was you, I would be sad for what happened to the other people that lost their houseboats but I’ll be really, really happy that I’m ALIVE and well, and that my houseboat still floating and with minor damages compared to the rest. Instead, you aré crying because you have to move? SMH.

    I'm so sorry you had to "beg" for shelter. We experienced the same thing with Hurricane Irma. We stayed because we wouldn't take out kitty. We hunkered down and ended up with the neighbors kitty, they left and didn't take her, and held our neighbors with their dogs. It's difficult funding shelter with pets but you did great in staying with your furbaby.
