A couple has traded their home for a life on the water, living permanently on cruise ships - and it's cheaper than paying a mortgage.Angelyn and Richard Burk, who are originally from Seattle and both in their 50s, packed one suitcase each and left their jobs, to spend the rest of their lives doing what they love most - travelling.The couple's life at sea started in May 2021 after they realised living on board a boat was a cheaper option.
“We love to travel, and we were searching for a way to continuously travel in our retirement that made financial sense,” Angelyn, a 53-year-old former accountant, explained to Australia’sFor as little as £35 a day, Angelyn and Richard realised they could spend the rest of their lives travelling.So far, they’ve hopped on and off various cruise ships around the world, including a 51-day trip from Seattle to Sydney. Favourite stops so far have included Singapore, Italy, Canada and the Bahamas.
“We love to travel and we were searching for a way to continuously travel in our retirement that made financial sense.” Thanks to living a frugal life, loyalty memberships and taking advantage of sales, the pair can already retire and don't plan to return to living on dry land or nine-to-fives ever again.
