Hi,
Saw your post and we're on about the same timeline in terms of sailing away. We will also be in the market for a
catamaran, but plan on around 45'. My wife has a personal finance adviser she's used over the years, but he does not specialize in liveaboard/ cruising lifestyle planning. We've created a spreadsheet where we've priced out different
boats, giving us an awareness of what we can/ cannot afford, monthly expenses, etc. From that, we've identified sources of
income (my
retirement, house rental, etc) and what we can do now over the next several years to maximize
money in the bank (rent out our basement, max investments, etc.). Hope that helps!
