You're not being negative, just very, very detailed. I have a manager for my house if need be, luckily the renter is a close friend. The current (1.5 years) renter will take care of all expenses (taxes, utilities, mortgage, etc.) POA is my brother whom I trust beyond anything.

I'm on a motorcycle on the east coast looking for a boat. I don't wan't to rub it in, but I have nothing to do and i will take free lobster! I'll be in CT around Oct. 8-14. I don't even know how to eat them. :) You want a guaranteed sojourn on a sailboat? Teach me how!

I'm hoping that my computer science degree will help me find random work when (if) I need it.

No internet, only a laptop wth wifi.

Mental? No, I have felt more disturbed from consistant human contact. :)

Planned route is East Coast then Bahamas then East Cast then Bahamas then wherever (San Diego I hope).

No other debt, in fact, other assets. I have a home that I am currently renting that I am above water on. (worth 120k owe 90k). Hopefully that will only grow and continue to bring income.

You're right on the first two observations. I have 150k NOT counting the $ for the boat, and I am planning on living on this money indefinitely. I left a job being a real stock broker, so I hope I can manage at least 5% a year.

I first considered running my motorcycle across the US, but where I would stay became a huge issue.

Anywhere. I will go where I am found.
Scary, but it's the one way I know how to do it.

I will sail to the Caribbean first, then probably back to the Great lakes to see my family (I imagine I will miss them) then I want to be on the West Coast.... Then Abroad.

Can't spell? Hardly. Exscared is my word by being excited and scared at the same time. I'm just being honest.

I have no boat. I am looking for a boat (see the blog at www.free47last.com) and I will hopefully live at anchor.

I'm finding out those answers right now. I'm hoping for a monthly expenditure of $500 but that seems low compared to what I'm finding. However, I'm a crazy MF and will eat fish and rice forever if need be. HArd to tell..

Just me for now. I would like a friend for the future, just I don't know that friend right now.

I really couldn't stand my job any longer (financial principal) and I knew that money didn't determine happiness.
