Alternative dwellings are great when it's your choice to choose to live that way, but do you ever wonder why less of us are able to buy a traditional home?
The answer simply is currency debasement. The answer more deeply is answered in my new podcast

My guess is the boat is NOT sail worthy, and I'm guessing he doesn't really sail the boat, but it's just a cheap liveaboard. Problem is, sailboats normally ALWAYS need work. This one needs a ton. But this guy seems happy, which is what's important.
@@jasonmacneil2256 What makes it float worthy but not sail worthy?
@@michaelbrinks8089 the sails, the sheets, the rigging, the condition of the hull, the operational readiness of the steering system from the wheel/tiller to the rudder. I'd bet this boat hasn't been on the hard for a long while!
$400 for like a 400sq home that leaks, moves, can sink anytime, etc etc then like insurance, upkeep so forth.. its not cheap at all. he prob spends more like $900 on the low side per month after fees not disclosed to make the title clickbait. LOW SIDE.. after linked power(link fee not power fee)/cable/internet/insurance/dock slip/ electricity etc etc.. he easily pays more than 1k/month to live in a room smaller than found in NYC. But boss man, its cool, but these people are misrepresenting you from what i can tell allegedly with 1% uncertainty.
@@TrueHelpTV you need to pull your head outta your butt, your brain (as small as it is) will thank you for the much needed oxygen!!
Seeing this makes me wanna do a boat tour! I have been living on my 34 ft sailboat in Norway for the last 3 years. Sailed thousands of nautical miles, up to the arctic but also south to Sweden and Denmark. Right now I am at anchor in a bay in Norway, diesel heater running quitely and keeping the temperature nice and warm. Lithium batteries powers my 4G router, the heater, my appliances, laptop.. solar panels and alternators generate what I need of power. It is really an amazing lifestyle, especially when you get free from the dock with a seaworthy ship!
Get a wood stove. We will run out of diesel soon.
@@thefullmonte1902 yeah a cubic mini is my dream.
@@SailingVinderla Do it fast.. it will help you through winter. Perhaps you can get a non boat and adapt. Or build something from scratch.
I took the MS Lofoten a few years ago and I sailed on MS Norsel from Tromso to Svalbad. Norge has been good to me. Greeting from Australia 🇦🇺..
I truly envy you . After my time in the Navy I always wanted to spend time on a sailing vessel . Unfortunately I was never able to make it happen . But I did accomplish another dream I had when I earned a pilots license .
I lived on my sailboat for eight years. The boat vintage, layout and size were almost identical to that shown here, though this boat is a little bigger. All of the practical considerations were the same, though in my case, living in Canada, required special measures for winter. From 1993 to 2008 I ran the live-aboard mail list. I may restore the archive somewhere after appropriate privacy stripping. It is full of practical advice and experiences.
That’s an Ericson 32
I’ll never live aboard but I’d love to see the archive and I’m sure I’m not alone. Hope you do publish it at some point.
@@vidguy007 Only 32 ft end to end? Looks bigger on video but I notice so do many of the tiny homes.
It’s actually a 1977 Ericson 34t 😊
I'd like to see that friend
Man can live anywhere, and doesn't need much to be happy.
Men could DO THAT 😄
unless he has wife and daughters 😋
I think, it may have to do with our bodies♀️
Women are more complicated😊
A lone wolf man can live anywhere. We don't need much at all. Just enough space to lay down at night and sleep. Everything else is a luxury.
You may want more, but you certainly don't need more. Half of the world lives in worse conditions with kids. It's all mental.@@kathleenking47
Very true.
it’s his boat, his life and he’s happy. Nuff said
The politicians aren't when they see us happiness and how he's paying for rent,, please read my post,, thank you
yep
i dig it
Exactly what I was thinking.
Maybe if California stopped voting for the communists democrats you wouldn’t be forced to live on a boat. I grew up on the water all my life, I had cabin cruisers bigger then that, great for spending a weekend but no way would I want to live on them. Great to save money but it’s gonna get old. To each his own but if these crooks in government gave a shit they would lower taxes and make living in an actual house or apartment easier financially. I guess there are showers at the marina ? Heck I lived in San Diego for 8 years, born and raised in the Bronx NY, then moved to Wa State for 22 years, now I’m in Red Ohio for the last 8 years and bought a house, mortgage is $419.00 a month at 3.25%. As long as we keep these liberal democrats out of here, it’s easy to own a home, I have a good job Boeing aircraft mechanic and it’s a small home only 2 1/2 bedrooms. Now however the China communists are in the White House and destroyed our economy, so now cost of living is through the roof, it’s tougher as they ruin the American dream especially if somebody is divorced living on a boat or in many cases their vehicle or a box in the street in liberal run LA. Move out of Cali, start a new life in a red state, live in a home, save money and most importantly don’t vote for the democrats when you get here.
Can u dig it?!?!?
It's all you need. So peaceful. We had a couple who lived at a marina in Tarpon Springs. It was a bigger boat, but it taught me that you don't need a lot of stuff to be happy.
I delivered food on a door dash delivery to a guy on a dock who lived on his boat not long ago lol. It was such a interesting order lol. Ppl had their boats all lit up and decorated with Halloween props, a bar, a huge tv and it looks awesome. He also tipped very well lol.
THANK YOU for the honesty and HELPING people understand just how Affordable it can be to own and live on a sailboat
Sure you have to live "tiny"
but you can INDEED find Sailboats from the FREE price for a rough one or even $5000. for something decent or $10,000 can get you an EXCELLENT vessel in the 30-40ft range.
And Marina life is pretty cool if you get in at a cool place that is reasonably rated ( $400-750/mo )
You cant live waterfront ANYWHERE else for those rates and have your privacy within reason and meet some really cool people. I abhor these Sailing channels that try and make it seem like you need a $50,000 boat and it takes $1500 a month to upkeep and bla bla bla.
So many people live on cheap boats and live for $500 a month and are happy as hell.
So THANK YOU for showing a real aspect and just how it CAN BE DONE if you just take the time to hang around a Marina and find a Boat that has some storage owing or someone that just gave up their boat.
Sail On !!!
You are welcome! I agree, the first step is to find a marina that has some boats with back fees. The marina will most likely sell it simply to start gaining their money back in slip fees. My boat neighbors and the sailing community in general are some of the nicest and helpful people I’ve ever encountered.
@@Creative_Digitized_Solutions Just a quick question. Where do you park your car and how much does it cost to do that?
@@dogfood2525 The marina has a parking lot. It is free to park there. Long term parking at my marina would not be recommended as it’s not solely dedicated to my marina. Other marinas may have different parking situations though.
Now I know we've all heard of a bachelor crib but this man just took it to another level with a bachelor boat !
That's so cool. If I had to live in a small place, this is what I'd do
Yup, I’ve been living onboard in Norway for 8 years now for the reasons you stated and everyone of them are spot on. Kudos to you!
Thank you!
My father was born 103 years ago in a log cabin. People can live with less. They certainly did make do with houses that today we wouldn’t store a lawnmower in. Cracks between logs that let blowing snow in on your quilts. He said never wanted to see the “good old days” ever again.
THIS IS SOMETHING I NEED, Ive been looking for something small and affordable to live in just by myself out in the ocean or out in the woods it's my dream to do something like this and move out
Purchasing and maintaining a vessel isn’t exactly cheap, let alone the marina fees. It still has to sit in the water.
My folks retired back during the 2008 financial crisis on a 12 x 50 foot houseboat on the river. The upfront cost can be high, as can the maintenance, but moorage fees and utilities make up for it.
But why won’t I ever do it? I hate getting sick, but what’s worse, if I have to be sick, I hate doing so in an RV sized bathroom without a porcelain flush toilet.
@@aeroAdvocate it's not expensive either unless you start adding unnecessary equipment and electronics that you don't need. I've been living aboard my vessel for almost 6 years now and besides doing the bottom job every four or five years which cost me about $1,500 last time I did it I have only had to spend money on replacing solar panels that were damaged from a hurricane for $300. Besides that it has cost me nothing. Much cheaper than living at home.
When I was living in a marina it was only $250 per month all utilities included. Hardly expensive
I am glad to hear you found my interview informative. I hope your dream comes true. My dream is/was similar. I choose both (woods and water). I use my Tacoma to explore the woods and my sailboat for the water. Best of luck to you. 😊
he aint a baot dealership , he is describing his usage. its much more detailed if he wanted to or had to.. but non the less i love this lil set up
Kudos for him mentioning Bums On A Boat. One of my favorite low budget DIY sailing channels.
I feel bad for joel. he is going through some crappy times. hope he keeps going.
@@TheCort1971 Not the first upset for Joel. Just another chapter. As far as sailing channels go, he could keep going to write many more channels before he is ready to retire. His is not the first channel to experience break ups. Where one goes afterwards really tells the tale. I hope he reboots into BOAB 3.0 with a new found joy of the lifestyle.
@@MrHellfinger I hope he does whatever is best for him, which may even be a path off youtube. But I'll be excited to see where he goes, people doing work on themselves is prime content creation.
Why, What happened to Joel , Michael,, They broke up?
@@waynecote976 Yes, then he started sulking and talking about how he is NOT A BUM and that he needs to change up his life blah, blah, blah. Rather than carry on, he ran back to WA state to be near her. Watch Sailing Good, Bad and Ugly instead. Truly inspirational and way more upbeat.
Late 70s and 80s was my Boat life experience. 70s House Boat and 80s Sail Boat. 🙂
I have a big house, Harley, Mercedes and a nice military retirement, and I’m jealous of him!
Thank you for your service. 😊
🤣"dirt only comes in one way"🤣
Congratulations on finding peace, it is priceless. 👍😎✌️
3 winters of live aboard in east side. It's not easy as it sounds because most marina do not accept live aboard i will say out of 10 marina probably 2/3 accept live aboard. Then beyond the monthly or annuals slips fees you have to add the bottom paint which at least once a years or so. Electric, water, internet bills for some , insurance, boat maintenance etc... plus when you buy an old boat it's never ending project because you want to upgrade things in your boat to make it nicer so every months you end up buying litte thing which at the end of the years cost thousand and thousands of dollars.
Be aware insurance is difficult on an old boat. Most will require surveys although mine does'nt.
I live full time in a cottage home in the foothills of the rocky mountains for only $350 a month......
Id be sailing away from that state
Invest in an Engle chest. It can be a refrigerator or freezer. whichever you want. You can slide it under the table or even sit on it as extra seating. We have 1 on our 12M Catalac as well as the small refrigerator/freezer that came with the boat. When we start cruising we may get a 2nd Engle so we can dedicate one to freezing stuff and one as a refrigerator. Yeah, they aren’t cheap but they run forever, have no moving parts, are quiet and are energy efficient. By the way, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU SIR FOR LIVING THE LIFE MOST OF US ARE TO AGRAID TO LIVE. And thank you for inspiring the rest of us by sharing what you have learned.
Yeah, around $1500 😳
I will definitely be looking into an Eagle Chest. Thank you for the info and the complement 😊
Good for you!! Have fun and do what you want!! Congratulations!!
Thanks! That is my plan. 😉
I like your attitude. It doesn't have to be perfect bcz good enough is good enough. I'm considering living aboard a sailboat much like you're doing so am interested in all things sailboat/houseboat rn. Nice setup!!! All the best from Canada 👍
He mentions the toilet but neglected to say that you aren't allowed to use it in a mooring or a marina. People object to the blind mullet you leave bobbing around.
Agreed. There is no septic dumping wile in Port. Most marinas offer a pump out service and bathroom facilities.
@@Creative_Digitized_Solutions interesting to hear of pump-out services. All the open ocean sailing yachts that I have sailed on vented the toilet directly into the sea. The serious sailers never use the head anyway, it's too easy to leave the stopcock open and sink the boat. Just shit over the side is the go.
Lived aboard a Columbia 26 at Yerba Buena marina in the mid-Eighties....it was ideal for 25 year old me
I lived on a 35 foot ChrisCraft cabin cruiser for 6 months in Sausalito. It was great for a while, then the weather got bad( boat pitching all over the place...) and dealing with the wharf whacko's made it kind of a hellish pain in the wazoo for me. But I tried it. It's not for me, but many, many people and their pets live on their boats all over the Bay Area.
Wow so beautiful boat ⛵😍😍😍😍 Enjoying Sir God Bless You 🙏💖💖💖💖
Thank you 😊
My most expensive purchase was my sailboat.....And it was the best decision I ever made...$3,600 a month bill for San Diego house rent gone.... A garage full of toys hardly used because I was so damn busy working to pay for it all gone...Boat people are cool , the best neighbors you will ever find, Perhaps it is because there not stressed ....
I live off grid since 88 in the high desert 🏜California paid off land
Great video! Very inspiring! Uscg vet here just starting to learn sailing and such. Maybe some day I will live on a sailboat.
you can anchor anywhere in Florida its legal, if you need a roof over your head, you can't beat a sailboat
There are time limit restrictions. Fl has a big problem with abandoned boats. When I was at Lauderdale the Municiple Marina was full of liveaboards. Quite common in Fl at the time.
@@rogersmith7396 Is Fort Lauderdale a good place to live on board anchored ⚓ in the intracoastal ?
@@Sam-ky7si I moved my boat from there in 2000 so I have no current knowledge. There was a city owned marina right behind Port Everglades and my impression is it was full of liveaboards. I was at south beach marina in Miami and I doubt there were many there. The Fort Meyers area always struck me as a haven for rich old assholes so I would doubt it there. What you have to know about florida is how shallow it is. Virtually no place for a good sized sailboat to put in between Miami and Key West. I have been 7 miles off shore in 10 feet of water. There were liveaboards on buoys at Key West when I was there. Well and in Marinas too. But I'm guessing the marinas are expensive. Florida marinas are usually luxury with shopping centers and restaurants and chandleries etc. I bought my boat at Palmetto and there were some liveaboards there. Great cheap Greek restaurant. Oh and by the way, Florida sucks.
great for loners...but....forget about inviting guests. I owned a small sailboat, and it was fun to go where your want. Not many of my friends looked forward to an invite. lol. It was great to have a beach house though...lots of gals coming to see me there.
I don’t have a shortage of guests onboard.
LIKE LIVING OFF THE GRID..I LOVE LOW COL IS HUGE FREEDOM USE TO SPEND 6WEEKS LIVING ON A BOAT..FULL TIME SLIPS YES TOUGH WAS PROBLEM FOR ME
Looks hard to live that way. But, good for him. I couldn’t do it.
Thanks. While this lifestyle isn’t for everyone, those that do choose it are usually capable of living this way.
I had a 25ft helms and it's name was "About Time".
I live on a 26X. Got what I need. It is awesome.
I would love to live on a boat. In NYC there's a large community living on the Hudson River house boats sail boats all kinds. Animals there really nice and they help each other. I always thought I would be fun to live there.
The boat community has been so welcoming and helpful. I truly enjoy being a part of such a great group of people.
He is lucky most piers in SF area are not allowing people to live aboard their boats. Berkeley is kicking people out of their piers for doing this.
I obey my marinas policies and try to be a steward of the community.
That’s the cleanist homeless guy I have seen
😂 I’m not homeless.
Homeless , plz !!!
Not sure your boat is in a San Francisco marina . Maybe way up in the bay area some where. But I'm glad your happy.
I know what you mean being in a smaller space and not being able to buy more stuff. I'm in a tiny house, have money, but can't buy anymore stuff. Already overwhelmed. I actually have everything I need for a change.
The feeling for me is liberating. Congrats on your transformation. 😊
Absolutely great way to live. You're very resourceful wish you many happy years.
Looks like he's got things working for himself pretty well there. But I don't think he's actually in San Francisco, or San Francisco Bay. Looks a ways inland, up one of the waterways maybe, where things are cheaper (and probably more relaxed and enjoyable).
It’s up the Sacramento delta, I believe Rio Vista. He’s all set.
The channel made the title. While I am in the Bay Area, they did try to keep my exact location unknown.
Back to the future license plate.
Great Scott…..you made a time machine? Out of a sailboat? That’s heavy doc!!!
Hop in Marty, we are going back to the future! 😂
Brilliant little home. Thanks for sharing this.
You are quite welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Live aboard slips are almost impossible to find anywhere in CA. But, there's plenty of sneak aboards.
Live aboard slips are definitely more difficult to find. Following the marina slip rules are imperative to keeping the sailing community accessible. One possible solution is to own a second boat.
No slight to a guy living on the cheap, but a few red flags popped up for me, so correct me if I'm wrong. First, being from San Diego and knowing that San Francisco is a major sailing hub, there is no way he has a slip for $400/month. Unless he is in the most ghetto, shifty, unsecured marina in all of Cali, just no way. Second, he is new to sailing. His language, vocabulary... it smacks of someone not particularly well versed in, well, boats. He's in for a hell of a reality check. My money says he either gives up on the idea in a couple years, or goes down with the ship. Free sailboats are free because they are beyond repair. Folks, don't use this as an excuse to follow suit... just be excited for him and be smart before you let romantic ideas change your life.
The Bay Area is quite extensive and has many marinas at all kinds of price ranges. I am currently at a really nice marina that only charges $250. During my 6 years in the Navy I learned my way around a ship and it’s vocabulary quite extensively. The interviewers i was speaking to did not though. During my time as a Search And Rescue swimmer, I seen first hand the realities of being on the water. I would take your bet any day. 😂
The best feature is that you never have to worry about having a lady want to move in. I'm buying a boat.
There are many women sailors that have their own boats. This is quite the diverse community.
Beautiful tutorial for somebody interested in a live aboard.
"Maintenance is going to be your biggest expense" ... yep, and maintenance on a boat ain't cheap.
Some places have do it yourself yards. Any idiot can bottom paint a boat. I would suggest teflon than scuba clean it.
Still way cheaper than a house. I do most of the maintenance myself.
13:19 I lived in San Francisco for $400 a month......but I was born and grew up here and know the right connections but this guy has a great living situation and living on a boat is something I've for sure considered before. I don't know anything about sailing yet though.
Love this
Tie my self to the couch during rolling seas hmm 🤔 🤢
I live near the beach it would be fun to live on a boat but not forever.
Great vid, similar situation, retiring AF the more I participate in the rat race the more stressed and unhappy I get. Minimalism/essentialism is a wonderful thing and I feel better the less I have, anytime I feel anxious or stressed I go on a cleaning spree and sailboat life is definitely my plan as well. At 40 with a spinal fusion and half my body wrecked from service I sit and realize a few things. No part of my life has been by my own accord, childhood under parents, adulthood till now age 40 under strict control of government. I aim to live for me and enjoy life while I still have good years left and the strain of being told how to be and the need to always grind for success is tiring. I bought into it, got the benz, nice home, da da da it doesn't make you happy, if anything it's limiting and stressful. Benz for example yah it's cool it impresses people but everywhere you go you worry about it, are people going to door ding it, if i park it here will it get vandalized, I'm a target everyhwere I go because benz. It's not worth it, none of it is.
No way! 400 hundred dollars a month. Live aboard marinas aren’t cheap, they require you to have your boat insured and registered, plus they charge by the foot. Usually starts at 25 dollars per foot. 40 foot boat times 25 isn’t cheap. Probably 1 thousand a month in slip fees. They also charge for dock power if your running shore power. 400 bucks a month is bs. I love to see his post breakdown.
SEEMS THAT THE COST OF MOORAGE WOULD BE A LOT MORE THERE THAN $400
The Bay Area is quite extensive and has many marinas that range in price. Some are much less.
Great setup you look happy! The only thing is I see you eating a lot of processed foods 😢 take care of yourself!
love it
Great lifestyle, thanks for sharing
Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed it.
Hard to believe $400 a month. Boat looks pretty spacious.
Can you give some addresses to look for where dose need legal license? If go other countries any problems if go out?
My son is interested in a career that allows freedom. What exactly do you do with your MacBook?
social security is $1200 per month. Imagine saving enough to buy a nice size sailboat.
It’s totally possible
Boat maintenance is another $2000 a month.
I haven’t paid $2000 in maintenance in the year that I’ve owned my boat.
A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into. Don't believe that you can live for just $400 a month on a boat.
Fifty years ago my mom bought my dad a 12 foot John boat. The oar locks were broken when they delivered the boat.
Next the hardware on the oars broke first time out, then the transom cracked under the force of the ELECTRIC MOTOR!
Have NOTHING to do with boats unless your financially well off. Pay the money to charter a boat and enjoy the water.
My friends have owned planes and boats. Planes are very manageable when done in a partnership. Forget boats...
ESPECIALLY if they are going in salt water. Never own a boat that has been used in salt water. NEVER!
I actually own a home and two sailboats. I am not rich, but I am financially stable. My boats are not the most expressive items I maintain.
@@Creative_Digitized_Solutions Do you have inboards? Are they kept in salt water?
@@Larrye123 My Ericson has an inboard and my Coronado has an outboard with a Catalina cut-out. Both are in fresh water.

SV OUTATIME is a 1977 Ericson 34T.
@@Creative_Digitized_Solutions thanks
Awesome 👌
I could totally live there and be super happy
Nautical camping! 👍
Still have to move the boat every 4th day when staying onboard so it us not a walk on the park
I think you have to be a certain type of person to live on a boat, his background story doesn't surprise me. Aware others with no similar background live on boats for those that were ready to assume something else. I think it may be cheaper as indicated by the thumbnail, but firstly you have to have the money to purchase the boat and then there is maintenance etc. Overall as long as it works for you the living conditions you have to do what works for you. Love his attitude and humbleness. Not everyone is that way.
wonder when the last time that boat was sailed? With all that stuff I am guess it doesn't sail that often. I liveaboard but I also sail my boat several times a week.
My sailboat was actively sailing before I bought it. I am still in the process of reducing my possessions and properly stowing my gear. I plan on sailing it this summer. I’m sure the shakedown cruise will be eye opening.😂
There will come a time, a lot of people will be living in boats and vans, people are just tired of paying an arm and leg for rent.
Great episode
Take away all societal norms:family, wife, unnecessary shopping from any common man & u'll get simplicity.
Awesum boat
Thanks!
@@Creative_Digitized_Solutions welcome
nice and simple...
Enjoy
theres no slips in the bay for $400...
That odd. I know plenty of slips in the Bay Area for $400 and less.
do u have to take ac out everytime u have to enter and exit?
No, I just have to make an awkward step over it. I remove it during the winter.
Uh oh.. The more this gets out, the higher the rent is going to go with other people realize this! ;)
Sim é uma vida que muitos sonham em ter....mas um barco custa muito muito dinheiro para manter .
Such a beautiful soul ❤
I think your boat is safer than a house or vehicle
What do you do remotely? I'm interested in this exact lifestyle!
Nice Ericson.
He seems kinda embarrassed but his house boat is perfect. It's what he needs. It looks nice. Yea it's not white glove, but who's brick and mortor house is either?? And long boards for getting around town. Sea spray nearby. It's a spot of heaven really.
California is best don't have to worry about hurricanes or heavy storms
Wow..quite low on monthly expenses. Btw, how much you bought that boat?
I got a really good deal on it during the winter.
And no lawns to mow, no weeds to pull; heaven....rr Normandy, Fra.
There is still a huge amount of work on a boat.
Scrubbing down the hull and preventing barnacle buildup is a constant job.
Thamks for video.
What is the boat type and size?
Looking she is some of the CATALINA? Size around 34 - 35?
Something I wanted to do in Cali also but now I rather live in another country on my sail boat. Somewhere on the Mediterranean where I will keep quiet 😂
All of that is possible with will and dedication.
Try to go and even get a live aboard slip and you will learn this is basically impossible. A guy with an old grandfathered slip is a bad example of someone living in a sailboat.
dont know how to sail but i want to buy a used sail boat one day (under $5000) as my first boat and eventually live like this
3:51 is that the AC he was talking about buying and putting out, cause it's right there
That’s the one. I just hadn’t installed it yet.
Glad to see Andre Agassi is living the dream
😂 I can see the resemblance.
Where is Steffi?
Helluva player
