Fail Safe Financing for Cruising Lifestyle!! - Page 4

I have friends in Mexico who get 1500 a month and send 1000 back. Just depends on your needs and abilities to fish. Fish is the original organic meat. They sell fresh fruits and veggies cheap. Tortillas are subsidized and cheap.

Beer/cervesa is the highest thing there. Oso Negro and fruit juice is cheap and the cruisers drink.

No, my daughter like her mother is beautiful.
Now, if I left my mother-in-law in the parking lot..........naw she'd still be there when I got back.......even with a $100 bill pinned to a sign around her neck that read "FREE TO A GOOD HOME" no one would steal her either.

That Oz guy that bad mouthed Aust,he really didn't want too many of you guys coming here or it would stuff it up for us with all this money you guys hand out. Entry for Bahamas $300? We can cruise all around Oz and only pay for marinas when we want to stay and hand out our hard earned cash. if you want work there's plenty of that, and if you have any expertise that's well paid too. We have great cruising grounds, particularly on the East coast, so many. I loved sailing in Jervis bay,Sydney Harbour,and Broken Bay in New South Wales. Queensland has lots of places all the way up the coast, with the Whitsunday Is in particular, the Percy Is off Mackay, not forgetting the Keppel Is, just magic! All with a great climate to boot! No snow or ice,waters usually warm, a bit windy at times but that's what catchup days at anchor are for. I've heard NZ is pretty good too but a bit colder than Oz. Natureboy.

So in summary it's "have tons of money and buy a cheap boat relative to your huge pile of cash."

Anyone who says a technique is "fail safe" when it comes to investing hasn't been around the block too much.
