you dont need a car or mass transit. frig. have you ever been to Amish country?
they have these things with two wheels, called bikes.

and yes, low maintenance boat. They have to be built, not bought.
the 65' steel cat i was going to build, and may still build, if the country has a way i can still earn money.
no below the water thru hulls, thick steel below the waterline, solar power (25-30 year lifespan) wind power (40+ years) on board small scale hydroponic farming, the cost to build is about $250,000 if built in USA.
the upkeep is epoxy paint, antifoul, MISC junk.

this low upkeep cost boat must be steel!
it must be a cat.
it must not be sail.
primary propulsion needs to be electric, with diesel backup.
i know, where do you get the diesel ECT, the hope is it would be needed so rarely, that 500 gallons would last years if not decades.

To me, sarcasm in the middle of a debate shows sloppy thinking. "Not all food comes from McD? Really? Who knew???

Go for it if that's what you want, Captain Nemo.

Re: WE, are not slaves.

My friend - move over here, to Dubai. Zero personal tax, zero road tax, don't know about properly (not stupid to buy). Excellent roads, petrol is cheaper than water. 300 sunny days per annum. Excellent winter.
Only if you can survive 6 months indoor (35-40 deg C outdoors) and without any sight of nature (sea + sand + idiotic skyscappers).
Big expat community. But not many yankees over here - probably because even if you live and work overseas, you STILL HAVE TO PAY INCOME TAX IN US. Why?

Re: WE, are not slaves.

The road to enslavement and serfdom is not complicated to understand:

Most people gladly give up their freedoms in exchange for free stuff or the promise of free stuff from their governments. They willingly pay taxes just so long as the perceived value of the stuff being received is greater than the amount they're willing to pay. Democracy, Socialism and human nature.

I prefer freedom and enjoy liberty. Don't interfere with my life and I'll in return leave you alone to enjoy yours... everyone pays their own way, except those who truly can't... the key word being "truly."

That explains much...

Not sure I would use Sununu as a benchmark.

Emotional IQ - sometimes called "wisdom", is a significantly better benchmark than IQ at defining an individuals utility and success at life. Success being whatever a given individual defines for themselves....
