Anonymous Coward User ID: 27268664 United States 01/29/2013 06:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31735474 United States 01/29/2013 06:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31735474 it's a sail boat and they fish and dive for seafood 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. :) |

With what money coming in? I smell a trust fund. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31735474 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. |
Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States 01/29/2013 07:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to news.yahoo.com] Quoting: Brad Daylight “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! Looks like a setup to get their own reality show. 14 people in one RV??? |

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. |

They drive around in an RV, the dad works as some computer dude, so I guess he just needs a laptop or whatever. [link to www.kelloggshow.com] 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. 'Magically Delicious' |
