  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This person seems decent. Her and her S.O. live on a 50-year-old 36' sailboat that they bought for $7000 and refit themselves.

That's an excellent exception, and quite interesting. Thanks for the link!

My cousin did this with her wife and they are very decent.

The thing was a floating money pit though and was usually broken down and was sometimes uninhabitable because of various issues.

Then the hull got damaged in a storm when waves banged it against the dock over and over again.

Now they own a nice little house.
