Living aboard a sailboat is living cheap Living aboard a sailboat was our favorite frugal retirement living lifestyle. For eight wonderful years we lived the life that Jimmy Buffett sings about. We will show you that we had very little experience when we started this adventure in 1994. We found the sailboat lifestyle to be healthy, safe, fun and a very inexpensive way of life... if we did it so can you. By little experience we mean we had never been aboard a sailboat in our lives when we took a four hour cruise ship shore excursion on a sailboat in Charlotte Amalie, St. The timeline of this major lifestyle change Here is a brief outline of the steps that we took to go from zero boat experience to actually living on a sailboat four years later. For more detail we recommend our e-book "Live the dream... live on a sailboat in the Caribbean" Sailboat living in the Caribbean For those next eight years, we spent 6 to 9 months a year on our boat, leaving it out of the water during summertime which is hurricane season.
You Deleted Your Cookies? Think Again | Epicenter More than half of the internet’s top websites use a little known capability of Adobe’s Flash plug-in to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mention the so-called Flash cookies in their privacy policies, UC Berkeley researchers reported Monday. Unlike traditional browser cookies, Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users, and they are not controlled through the cookie privacy controls in a browser. That means even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not. What’s even sneakier? Several services even use the surreptitious data storage to reinstate traditional cookies that a user deleted, which is called ‘re-spawning’ in homage to video games where zombies come back to life even after being “killed,” the report found. Even the Whitehouse.gov showed up in the report, with researchers reporting they found a Flash cookie with the name “userId.” Tools: * Ccleaner - See Also:
To Work Abroad Successfully, Put Down Roots The Benefits of Becoming a Local By Tim Leffel When most people start thinking about working abroad, they generally fall into one of two camps. Those in the first camp plan on securing a solid job before they go. These people intend to spend anywhere from a summer to several years in a foreign place, with a relatively set idea of how they will spend their workdays. The other camp is made up of floaters, those trying to pick up travel funds that will allow the journey to continue. Unfortunately, both options come with plenty of hurdles. The hurdle for the floaters is the question, “Why you?” Why It Pays to Be a Local When my wife and I worked as English teachers in South Korea, we initially arrived thinking we had jobs, but they fell through when it turned out that the recruiter had botched our arrival date. Adam Berg left New York City and arrived in the southern Kyushu province of Japan to stay a while with his fiancé, who was teaching English. Finding Opportunities, in Time

I grew up around sailboats, but was a power boater for much of my adult life.

20392-retirement-cruising-budgets Expenses While cruising, the types of expenditures are not a great deal different from those in your budget ashore. However, their magnitudes can be substantially different. Before retirement, the major monthly expenses are Living costs such as food, utilities, insurance, clothing, and sundries Property upkeep/repair Taxes After retirement, items in category one should drop slightly as clothing and utility needs are reduced on board. Personal income taxes, real property taxes, and those for personal property vary drastically from one locale to another. By eliminating land-based real estate and durable goods, assets are increased and costs are reduced, further reducing income needs. Additional budget reduction typically occurs with changes in your standard of living after moving aboard. While cruising full-time, our average monthly outlay was nearly $1,000 with an annual increase of seven to10 percent due to inflation, equipment attrition, and changes in geographic affluence.
