Boats,
Mate,
"airline pilots live on boats?" YES ... scumbags like airline pilots live most anywhere they think they can shave a coin or two. I've seen em in boats, cars, pick-em-up trucks, motor-campers, their friends houses and the local freeway underpass.
The real problem is that living on a boat doesn't save much of anything. Probably costs much more than an apartment.
1) The boat you purchase, you will sell for less than you pay for it, plus all the costs that go into maintaining it in it's current condition. Most folks don't consider that a boat is simply disolving as each day goes by.
2) In California, if you can find one, a live-aboard slip is gonna cost you $750 to $1250 and all of that is "after tax".
3) Living on a boat is lots of fun, though. You get to get up extra early in the dark, damp morning to go up to the community toilet/bath facilities to do your "dailies". It's always fun to get to work in sodden, moist clothes.
I tried it myself, couldn't stand it.
