Today i got myself out of the materialism trap. I'm not going to fall for anymore advertisements and waste my money on useless shit.
I'm 22 and have 700 euros in the bank. I'm going to save up until i can afford something like pic related. I want to become a hermit and detach myself from this fucking society.
Might get a dog so i'm not lonly
>>27079788
Yeah can see that working out for you
>>27079788
You'd still have to generate some kind of income to pay for life necessities.
As Tupac said:
>It ain't easy...
>>27079788
Get a sailboat you idiot
>one tank of fuel can last you a couple years.
>you can travel around and enjoy a comfy maritime style life.
>you don't have to pay any rent or taxes
>living in a sailboat is the most comfy thing ever.
>if you get the right boat used then it wont depreciate any more than it already has so you can sell it and be even when u decide you want to be a land lover again.
>>27079788
I really wiish you success. I want to do the same after college.

This will help a lot friend also /out/
>>27079788
I've been buying as few things as realistically possible for a few years now. Every time I open my wallet I ask myself, do I absolutely fucking need this shit? And if the answer is no, I don't buy it.
>>27079962
>tfw your country has no access to international waters
>tfw your country is landlocked
>>27079962
But you'd have to learn how to sail first, then you'd have to pay everytime you get into any harbour to refill your supplies and then there is the risk of getting into a storm and shipwreck.
>It ain't easy...
>>27080062
Also, somalian pirates might capture your boat and take your woman.
>>27079788
>euros
Where exactly from EU are you? What's the best place to life like this? You don't want to spend winter in a place like your pic related with snow and -10C
>>27080080
You ain't takin no bitches on that adventure. You wanna chill.
>>27080104
Yeah, but pirates still can capture your boat and take your supplies and sell you on the african slave market.
>>27079962
God damn, I want to live in a sailboat now. But I feel like the costs of upkeep would actually be a lot more than you're mentioning and also the winters would be hell.
>>27080095
You don't want to spend your summers in 30+ degrees seither, believe me.
Best is propably south France either at the mediterranean sea or the atlantic coast. Might as well be nice in croatia but you don't wanna live in east Europe.
>>27079788
How much do you think you'll need to save? That yurt in the pic is in Big Sur and those yurts(not that exact one) are $275 a night!
>>27080058
if you have a boat you're not bound to a country anymore
>>27080114
Well it's easy, don't sail anywhere near that fucking continent. You just stay on the atlantic and watch that you ain't getting south too much.
This is my dream but it's probably impossible to fufill. You need internet, food, water, and a lot of other things. I know it would be nice to live in a small hut in nature like you can in minecraft but it's impossible to do. Any you're probably a robot who has no motivation
>>27080180
>You need internet
That's an understandable statement, but as an oldbot that is still a little sad for me to accept.
>>27080062
You just pull a little row boat / tender behind the sailboat. When you need to go to land for supplies you just drop anchor in a safe area of the harbor and row/motor into shore... This is free as fuck.
Trust me m8 I lived on a sailboat for 5 years after high school and only costed me like a couple thousand dollars in food. I spent most of my government free bees on books and records.
>>27079788
Goddamn that looks comfy as fuck. I wish I were the off the grid innawoods type.
>>27079788
Ah, to be 17 again. Don't worry OP. You'll soon realise none of this will work out and you'll be back to crippling depression again.
>>27079962
>get gun and defend yourself from pirates
>coast Guard comes to harass you and fuck you in the ass because they're rather thirsty
>eat freshly caught fish with canned veggies every day
THE life.
>>27080127
well... Point of having a sailboat is so you can sail to different places.
And up keep is next to nothing as long as you take good care of the rig and sails. The hull is made from fiber glass and fiber glass will last thousands of years without wearing out.
The most you would ever have to do is change the water in the fresh water tanks and do an oil change every other year... Unless you have a little electric motor, That would be awsome and they make them and sell for under 200 bucks
I lived on a boat after I got out of highschool, Moved down to flordia from canada and then got my boat and sailed down to the USVI's . Winter is not a problem as long as you stay south.. Point of a boat is that you are not bound to any country or climate. So don't think just because you are from some place cold like eurpoe that you can't do this. Just go to the Mediterranean and live in the sea down there.
>>27079788
Any other pictures or a name of that amazing structure?
I would do this but im already caught in the stream with gf and uni. Might do it one day tho. Got 160k euro saved up but the whole problem is that i need a income stream. Im only 24 so i might do it one day after uni is done (Im from scandinavia so uni wont really be a waste if i chose not to use the education since i dident pay for it. Also healthcare is free so i can do this until i die alone)
Building 2 or 3 houses and renting out the others could be a way to do this tho.
>>27080267
>Fresh fish is a big part of the main diet. and its amazing.
>Cost guard does not interact with sail boats unless they are called on the radio by the boat it's self.
>unless you are sailing around the north east of africa pirates are not an issue, but it is always handy to have a gun for the mental aspect knowing you can defend your self if something happens.
>>27080062
being cheesy tfw im eating cheetos puffs right now
>>27080356
I love when ur fingers are coated in the cheese powder
Question for ppl that owned boats
What's it like sleeping? Do yo get used to the waves? What's it feel like after spending weeks/months on a boat then going to a bed on land?
>>27080407
typically when you are sleeping the boat will not be under sail or moving. And anytime you want to rest you will usually sail into a harbor that has big break walls to keep the ocean waves out.
So anytime you get to a inner harbor the water is calm and flat because the waves can't forum in such a small area. in this case that is 99% of the time the boat is still and you wouldn't even know you are in a bed in a boat.
How ever once in a while you will experience a storm or some heavy wind and this will kick up some short chop waves... These can gently rock the boat side to side a bit but nothing that intense... its actually kinda nice.
After weeks of being on the boat to sleep a bed on land just feels the same but you can usually have more room to stretch out.
The coolest sensation is when you have spent a few hours sailing in wind and waves and then you come back to land and lay down, when you lay down your inner ear plays a trick on you and makes it feel like you are still rocking with the waves and if you close your eyes you could swear you are still on the boat sailing.
>>27079788
>all those windows
what normie designed this
>>27080150
So you just illegally sail to another country's waters? There are countries that would shoot your fucking boat if you try that.
>>27080507
If another country blew up a civilian boat with Americans inside it would literally be war.
t. ghosts of the USS Maine and RMS Lusitania
>>27080477
That's so cool man
What do you do to entertain yourself all day
>>27080520
I'm not American tho. My country literally wouldn't give a damn if some other country sank my boat with myself on board.
>>27080507
What countries do you think would shoot you?
Normally you stick to one region and don't make a lot of open ocean crossings.
Also when you are going somewhere it is important to radio ahead to ask for permission to dock or let the authority's know you are coming so they can interview you and confirm your ID. I have sailed to over 19 different country's and the only time I ever even spoke to any authority was when I was in T&T because I needed to ask for directions to a boat store and they just wanted to confirm my age and that I had not stolen the boat and that I was the rightful owner.
>>27080564
How much does a decent boat cost?
How do you learn how to sail?
>>27080540
you can do anything you want.
I like to go sailing a lot obviously
I spend a few hours reading every day because I love it and its nice and peaceful to know you are all alone on the boat.
I spend a good amount of time on here and other websites... you can get a very reasonable satellite data plan for using on boats.
I sleep like 11hrs a day just because I can.
I listen to lots and lots of music and play guitar
I got to the occasional bar and find a girl to bring back and sleep with, they usually stick around for a day or so until I say I'm leaving for the next place.
I love to paint the sunsets as they cascade across the different cites and landscape I see when I'm anchored.
I have a dog that lives with me so I usually take her to shore and go for a walk and grab anything I think I need.
I have lots of hobbies that come and go and I just genuinely enjoy my own company more than being around other people.
>>27079962
>you don't have to pay any rent or taxes
How do you avoid harbour/berth fees?
My brother lives on a boat but he's the pilot for the harbour area and doesn't have to pay for his berth. Even with his decent wage he couldn't afford to live on his boat otherwise.
>>27080288
>And up keep is next to nothing as long as you take good care of the rig and sails.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>27080407
It's like getting rocked to sleep. It's fucking awesome especially on a wooden ship that creaks. Even though it's a loud environment any sound is pretty rythmic (engines for instance really put me to sleep) and the working day is hard so you sleep pretty well.
I get badly seasick and usually hate the roll of ships on deck but in bed with your eyes closed it's great.
>>27080583
Depends on what you want from it.
Typically if you plan on living on a boat you will want something that is bigger than 26feet because this will give you a nice sized kitchen and room to stand in the cabin... You can easily find something this sized for less than $7,000.
I personally own a C&C37r, that used to belong to my father. he passed away when I was only 16 and I got to have his boat. He taught me to sail and maintain the boat. my boat you can find for around 30k-70k depending on the condition. But I would not suggest a boat this size (37feet) to anyone not very experienced.
The smaller the boat the easier to manage, And I think a nice live aboard sailboat should be easily had for anywhere around 10-13k
If you want a cheap house in the EU, go to Romania. Sure, no NEETbux to rely on but not as many shitty laws to tie you down either so you can still do pretty much anything there.
>>27080688
If you want you can scrub the bottom every week while you are swimming, its not hard... that looks like the boat was abandoned in a warm salt water ocean for years...
>>27080712
Yeah, until a pack of gypsies attack you.
>>27080738
no gypsies in rural areas, they need someone closeby to rob to survive
>>27080672
When you live on a boat you have two main options. you can rent a boat slip at a marina for like $30 a month OR you can be smart and just anchor your boat in the same harbor and use a little inflatable row boat to span the distance from your sailboat to the shore, and this costs nothing once you have the row boat... this is what most people do that live on sailboats because It makes it possible to gain access to land that you otherwise couldn't get to...and you can bring your bike with you to shore to get around. it also doubles as a life boat encase something was to happen to your sailboat.
>>27080647
Where do you get money?
>>27079962
Watch the film all is lost. Beware: not a normie film
>>27079788
>Today i got myself out of the materialism trap. I'm not going to fall for anymore advertisements and waste my money on useless shit.
>I'm going to save up until i can afford something like pic related.
>>27080855
Alright I'll watch it this evening
>>27080855
Since he's actually a sailor he'll get a good laugh out of the seamanship and continuity on display in that movie.
Great movie though.
>>27080847
I do different things.
I do boat repairs for cheap for other people because I'm good at it and I don't think its fair to charge so much for work I find easy.
I do a bit of work for an advertising company doing graphic design .
I teach at a seasonal sailing academy in the virgin islands and get paid a good wage under the table. I essentially work for 3.5 months a year and save up and then just do the odd job for the advertising company on the side in the remaining time.
>>27080332
>implying I was saying any of that was bad
No I'd love to get fucked in the ass by fit sailors, eat fresh fish and veggies (for nutritional reasons) and shoot at pirates (because I don't have to care that much about if they're innocent or not like government types would have to.
Could also float around and protect European borders. But that's a bit edgy I guess.
>>27080616
find a local yacht club or community center that does sailing and inquire about learning to sail.
Chances are they have a program already in place for people looking to learn.
Sailors are very friendly people who LOVE to teach others to learn to sail.
>>27079788
Find a amazing girl that you can relate to and enjoy companionship with as well. Have a child and raise them in the ways of your lifestyle. then help them find a wife or husband as well and continue to do this and eventually you will have your own society of detached hippies that live off the land. Just be careful of inbreeding.
>>27080989
Sounds alright tbqh, If you want to do that I think It would be fun to go pirate hunting. you could even fit your sailboat with Armour plating and turn it into a bunker on the water that you shoot pirates from.
Nothing wrong with that.
>>27081060
I would like to see this, kinda like native Americans but less drug abuse and shitty attitudes
>>27081080
Who said anything about less drug abuse?
Id be growing mushrooms, pot, peyote, salvia, all of it.
>>27081115
actually...you might be onto something here, You could easily setup a grow-op or meth lab in a sailboat and nobody would ever find it... Holy shit
>>27081115
idk about meth lab, but natural herbs is a definate. Not to mention if you're discreet about your distribution to the tank top community, thats a viable source of income.
>>27079788
>Tfw that hit probably costs millions
>Tfw there's probably tons of taxes
>Tfw you'll never "save up" enough
>>27081158
This guy is incredible
>>27081175
How could that even cost more than $30,000
>>27081178
Danke. If I had the resources I'd have done it years ago. But modern society almost intentionally makes it hard to impossible to do shit like that
If you know the right people, you could build your own cheap, little house for 35-40k.
That is a a few years of saving and living frugally, for potentially a house that you got built from the ground up.
I have thought a lot about it, and owning my own home, no matter how small, is ultimately what I want in life.
>>27081204
why crop out the titties?
>>27081204
>falling for the own house meme
Enjoy being cucked by bricks.
>>27081220
Forgot that I wasn't posting on a work safe board.

sailboat like in the picture costs as much as a nice house.

can we turn this into a vera porn thread?

>tfw could potentially afford to have one built in just a couple years as soon as I get my degree and get a steady job
>tfw find out they build in most european countries but not in fucking Sweden
>>27081242
Wrong, That boat would cost like 60k
>>27081225
I'd much rather live in my own house without electricity or water, then to sleep on the sidewalk of a street.
>>27081188
Land ain't cheap, senpai.

-shrug-
maybe you should try penises instead?
>>27081280
I would eat the fuck out of her vagina, famalam.
Just sayin.
>>27081281
Ya we usually just have sex and don't even bother trying to sail.
>>27081270
Ahmed doesn't have this much money.
:^)
>>27081291
I like girls and butts are wonderful but vaginas are ugly as fuck and penises are actually much more aesthetical.
I can see why you would make art about huge cocks are like statues but those holes are just disgusting.
>>27081300
dem dubs
this guy knows whats up
she also goes by this name, oddly enough
>>27080767
No gypsies? Next you're gonna tell me I don't have to worry about draculas
>>27081278
I literally see hotter girls on the subway like every 2 minutes.
>>27081311
...so you want a trap?
> I can see why you would make art about huge cocks are like statues
this sentence should be engraved on your tombstone upon death
tfw this thread went to shit.
>>27081311
I know, man. Female assholes are so beautiful most of the times, but vaginas? Fucking roast everywhere.
>>27079788
Why don't you just travel to a remote area of Africa and attempt to infiltrate a pygmy hunter-gatherer tribe?
Try as you might, you will not be able to disconnect yourself from this society as long as you still live in it.
>>27081328
No, I don't like penises sexually. Just artistically and aesthetically.

>>27080932
It sounds like you have like the best lifestyle anyone could wish for. Why are you browsing 4chan?
>>27081547
I'm serious... pretty much every high-school here as sailing as an extracurricular activity
>>27081590
That sounds awesome, Where is that?
>>27081589
I like the community on here. People on 4chan are always the most open and pretty realistic, they don't pretend to be anything they are not and It can be lots of fun just to read different forums that interest you. I guess the whole being anonymous part makes people act a little differently than on other websites.
>>27081590
Unironically kill yourself you piece of shit. If you were here right now I'd rip your eyeballs of and stick them up your urethra you fucking faggot.

I like.
Where do you shit? Where do you get your water? How far do you have to carry it? What do you eat? Looks like a shitty life.
I want to be a drifter but I like internet too much

It's fairly expensive but it works. If your provider charges per bandwidth you can just install a text mode browser.
>>27080477
Do you always feel damp though? How do you keep things dry? I don't mean wet - just that annoying damp feeling in everything.
>>27081783
Well that's true.
Still, it's the same principle.
>>27081816
This isn't really a thing on the ocean in warm weather. The sun dries things out real fast.
>>27081816
Nah man. Only when it rains. Normally I have the hatch open and let the warm breeze roll through the boat while I'm relaxing or what ever
