I know this has been discussed in multiple ways but I think as I struggle with this important decision I wanted to get fresh opinions and feedback from the Forum members-that I believe understand and that I have a connection to— even though I may not have met many of you I feel connected in a way that I can not describe to the non- boating world- so yes I value your honest and thoughtful opinions.
I have a job that pays tons of money with great benefits-kids basically grown-currently both wife and I have relatively great health, we own a beautiful new trawler, I am in early 60’s , she late 50’s,- want to do loop,Caribbean, Alaska, etc. and we can walk away from our jobs and financially be ok- still keep land home and Trawler—would have to tighten our belts and fine tune our budget. Won’t be anything left for the kids though-
She says let’s do it ! She by the way loves the boat and cruising as much or more than me— I am a very lucky man for sure!! We don’t know what the future holds and if we work and accumulate more $, we may be stronger financially but I feel we will miss an opportunity at this wonderful stage of our lives. Going to be a struggle to continue to work mentally when our hearts are focused on the world of boating, diving,fishing, exploring, meeting new friends!
Should we continue to work and take the safe route financially or should we go for it and pursue our dreams??? Your thoughts are most welcome [emoji120]
