You show it's not just possible, but an achievable reality. Really appreciate your openness and encouragement to all. <br /><br />You can share my sardines and tequila anytime.Captain Cat at 'The Cruising Kitty'http://thecruisingkitty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-51659678036740648612011-08-29T15:05:09.070-05:002011-08-29T15:05:09.070-05:00Hi guys, just stumbled on your blog after googling...Hi guys, just stumbled on your blog after googling HR Rasmus. I started reading and WOW i tought , that blog is realy good. I think your writing on this subject was great, lots of good tips. But wy is this subject so tabou? Realy, wy people wont talk about money? You have to know how much last year cost you (example)? Don't get me wrong, you (mean everyone,i'am not singling you out here)dont want a talk about it, i wont push and i respect your decision. I just find it funny that people dont want tell other people how much they spent on this or that.<br />Anyway just my 2 cent, keep your blogging going, you guys are living my dream, Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-43451938642855182252011-08-15T15:32:19.889-05:002011-08-15T15:32:19.889-05:00I laughed at your first paragraph!

When my husband and I did our trip in 2009, we got so many questions about how we two 30-somethings could "afford" to take off and sail for 6 months that we started making up joke answers like "Bernie Madoff gave the number of his secret account in the Caymans." <br /><br />The truth is you can spend as much or as little as you want and still go cruising if you have the desire to make it happen.Beth Andersonhttp://www.nasailor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-20177401015466712412011-08-03T13:39:49.331-05:002011-08-03T13:39:49.331-05:00No need to apologize Jessica - the questions come ...No need to apologize Jessica - the questions come from every direction!

We tend to get a lot of those kinds of questions too, I believe it's partly because we're younger as well, (not much older than you), and it seems people have a hard time wrapping their heads around doing this kind of thing before being retired with a nest egg/pension etc. We're pretty much in the same boat as you!

I, for one, am so thankful that you're at least talking about it. <br /><br />Here is why. I only recently stumbled upon the dream of sailing the world, and as I piece the dream together I realize that it's a foreign world to me. I don't know what I don't know. Gathering information about all aspects of your (and other cruisers') lifestlye really makes the dream seem more achievable.<br /><br />So, at least for me, I'm not comparing myself to you, nor am I trying to "keep up" with anybody. I am, however, learning from you and those like you. I read your financial posts with the same curiosity as I read your passage-making and maintenance posts. It's all relevant information.<br /><br />Also, great blog!!! I check it everyday. It's also of great educational value, and it's FREE!! Though I do intend to make a donation to your kitty. I promise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-3743081886741181962011-08-02T08:23:11.641-05:002011-08-02T08:23:11.641-05:00Love Love Love this post!

I always smile and say, " We will have enough to be just fine and happy." <br /><br />Although, I see the look of disappointment when I do not give an exact $$$. I think sometimes people want to just understand how you cannot really "work" and survive. <br /><br />If I am asked again about the money issue, I should just refer them to this blog post!Rachel and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212774884993384326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-29515983832151061722011-08-02T08:01:20.154-05:002011-08-02T08:01:20.154-05:00Love this post.
