Live in paradise on a sailboat in the Florida Keys - expenses are just $1.2k

A Florida Keys couple says their full-time sailboat lifestyle costs about $1,200 per month—helping them keep spending low as U.S. housing costs rise. Amy Morin, an author and psychotherapist, told The U.S. Sun that moving to Florida fulfilled a long-running dream with her husband, Steve Hasty, after he picked out a boat and they relocated from Maine for an initial “six-month adventure.” They still keep their Maine house, largely paid off, with monthly expenses driven by property taxes and on-boat costs. Receipts cited include roughly $200 internet, $222 cell phones, $91 electricity, $150 hull cleaning, $109 taxes, $167 insurance, and $238 yacht club dues.
