AWESOME: Family gives up 9 - 5 slavery for a life filled with adventures
[link to news.yahoo.com]

“Every single day is a weekend."
That's how Susie Kellogg, mother of 12, describes family life these days, after she and her husband, Dan, decided to sell their Glenwood Springs, Colorado home last fall, fill up an RV with their children—all of them—and travel the country in search of adventure. Permanently."

Sounds like fun to me! hf

- Adolf Hitler

“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”

Have a nice day, may God bless you :D

I did this same thing 3 years ago with my wife and 3 kids. We've covered thousands of miles under sail. Been through the Caribbean, all around Florida, and planning to sail for Maine this Spring.

Life aboard is awesome. We homeschool out kids. They are a year beyond their peers now. My 7 year old can Captain a 14 foot rib with a 50HP engine and all the kids can navigate our boat via chart plotter.

All of it can be done for free once you have the boat. It's free to anchor. We stocked food i dive for lobster and conch and we catch tuna and Mahi offshore.

Looking to get a bigger boat now. Kids getting a little older. Then we're heading off into the South Pacific.

That's nice. Few can afford, think of the price of gas and feeding those mouths. With what money coming in? I smell a trust fund.

Doesn't a motor boat require gas money? How do you pay for food? Somebody must do some work or have had substantial money in savings for this to happen. Just being practical here.

Got it. I thought they said something about a motor being used by the kid.

Okay well I hope they can keep doing that. I'd do it if I had the money to buy a boat, but I do not even own my home anymore and my life fell apart financially so until things change and I can buy my freedom (can't wait)...it's off to slave I go. :)

Newsflash:
They can be human and adult and do whatever the fuck they want to as long as it does not involve killing people and stealing.

It always was slavery to me.

I'm glad I'm so old. The slave wages are worse today than they ever were in my lifetime.

No trust fund. Just hard work and smart money. No cable tv or big cars. Sold the house and everything else. Got the boat cheap and put my own labor into it. I work when I can. It's a luxurious little life. Total freedom.

This is the life, and I'm living it too.

Sailboat is the way to go. I'm just working to stock up some money right now and then off I go again.

When TSHTF, I don't need no stinking bugout bag, I'm packed and ready to go at all times.

The wind is free, and there's plenty of fish and lobsters. And I've got a watermaker.

Don't see how they can do it in an RV without lots of money.

Where does it say anything about a boat?
They drive around in an RV, the dad works as some computer dude, so I guess he just needs a laptop or whatever.

But yeah, there is a job and income supporting them it seems.
Without the need to send the kids out pearl diving lmao.

More power to them.
