Hi Claire,
We are in the process of transitioning to ER on a boat in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve owned the boat for 6 years so we’re familiar with the boat's condition and layout. It’s 44’ in length but only has around 550 sq feet of living space. Living on a boat is not necessarily cheaper than on land. Depends on the type, size, and age of the boat and where you stay. You can spend a little or a lot depending on what you want. It is a great way to live and we’re having a great time. Having a small living space will simplify your life but a boat can take a lot more upkeep than an apartment and it can get expensive to hire people to work on it so you need to learn how to do most of the work yourself to keep you expenses down.
Many people do it so don’t get discouraged.
