>sold everything they had
>only got 10k out of it

uhhhh hello??

More proof that tattoos are indicative of low IQ and low impulse control.

> To live on the open seas
> No experience on the water

...

>sell everything
>can only bring up 5k each
Is this normal for american millenials ?

Well, they were poor fucks then. I thought they bought a $100.000 boat or something.

Good for the planet's IQ .

>life choices
I'm a 24 year old neet with more than 10 grand in possessions to my name, how big of a failure can you be?

Also
>no insurance
Smart move too

Your Fleshlight collection and blowup dolls?

Who's gonna spend 10k to get a 5k boat out of the water?

Hold up-- boats are only 10k?

yes.

Even if you owned all of Bulgaria you wouldn't get that much. Oh fuck I'm hooked.

>live the rest of their lives on the open seas
>$90 worth of life

so like 2 days

Their parents will bail them out, as they obviously have for all of their lives because nobody can be this retarded without a large amount of hand holding.

My question is to people who do this, be it to live boating or motorcycling or Rving: they say they go off to live their lives while leaving/selling everything they own but how do they sustain this lifestyle? How do they not expect that food, especially in America, and gas will quickly expend what saved money they have?

How long would these two have made it, honestly? She would've been bitching his head off since day one at sea because she hates the way mcdonalds for every meal makes her thighs fat. Sink or not, I would've given this little adventure 1 week at most.

Hey, you stole my post

Wow fucking retards didn't get insurance. Exactly what happens when you fug up this hard.

I genuinely don't understand people like this. The ocean is no fucking joke. All it takes is the wrong combination of things and even an experienced sailor would get fucked. It's the same people who want to live out in the wilderness, but have zero experience doing so. Isn't it common sense that you would learn the basics so you don't end up like this within the first few days?

#YOLO :D:D:D

Shitty ones that sink are cheap for some reason.

They will learn from this experience, they have no choice.

Honestly, good on them for following through with their stupid bankrupting idea.

Kek

The city charges you that. I remember I crashed in a canyon near a friend's house, and his grandfather said he'd tow it in the morning. They lived in an area where the cops didn't really frequent, because it was in the mountains. That night I wasn't lucky, and it cost me 700. Jews will get you any way they can.

i actually calculated the value of everything I owned just in case shtf and I need spare cash.

what it broke down too

musical instruments - $1k
computer equipment - $2.5k
camera gear - $2.5k

there is various other shit, but that is the bulk of it. as you can see its not much.

>falling for the expensive sailboat meme
>not building your own boat out of garbage for almost nothing.

youtube.com/watch?v=9z4RRn-LXhs

That sucks. Hard first lesson to learn, that life will kick you straight in the balls every time. Kids these days don't realize that life is a zero sum game, everyone loses in the end.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Good on them
Pioneering spirit
Still young enough that they can just make all that money back again and got a good story out of the experience

I'm supposed to feel sorry for these two retards?

>’We sold everything to do this and lost it in 20 minutes'
>They bought their boat for $5,000 and spent another $5,000 to fix it up
>everything

i bet they still have 2 iphone x

nah I have a car and 2 bikes and a few houses in inheritance. just temporarily unemployed desu

You know sex dolls average $2000, right?
Owning a Real Doll is now indicative of financial success.

At least they're alive and didn't die from their stupidity.

wow 2 adults 26 and 24 had only 5k saved up after selling everything. LMAO
USA isn't part of the first world

Kek
They didn’t plan it at all.
They thought it’d be like in the movies.

missing details:
who was driving the boat
what did they hit?
I'm certain this was user error.

I can say frim personal experience, this people are idiots. In 2009 my wife and I sold our home and most of our possesions. We bought a 35' Erickson mk II and moved aboard with our two small children. Being from the midwest none of us had bluewater experience, so we spent a year learning before we set out on any long voyages. We spent 8 years as a family of 4 living aboard, eventually moced up to a 44' yorktown and thru many downs and a lot of ups, we made it the experience we dreamed of. Dont let one losers story turn you off. Follow your dreams while your young, retirement is full of its own disparities.

They had the balls to do this. And they lived on a sailboat no matter how short a time. More than anyone on this site has ever done.

Finally a non capitalist, fuck I think Rohm was right about the capitalists being worse than socialist.

There's a difference between taking risks and being retarded. They wanted to live on an ocean despite having zero experience in it when there are plenty of places to learn.

Yeah, it's pretty fucked. A lot of people here in their 20s barely have anything saved up. A lot of it has to do with paying of those college loans and whatnot while another factor is that these people have zero financial management skills.

rohm also liked dicks in his ass

"The Gang Buys A Boat"

Blowup dolls aren't the same as the dolls you're talking about.

>grown man with kids giving life advice
>pirate meme flag

They look stupid as fuck

No surprise

They likely just grounded the boat. Older Columbia's are known to have probs with delimitation around the keel. Again this ppl were idiots. First thing you do to any boat is have it pulled and inspect tje bottom. This could have been helped if they would have checked out a couple of books.

>10k between two people over 14 years of working
Complete failures, I bet they voted for Bernie.

It’s not that hard to buy a boat and crash it in two days, bro.
That’s not “an experience”.
That’s just rarted.

>More than anyone on this site has ever done.
Because we're not morons I guess. Lauren looks pregnant.

> 'I’m just standing there in awe. I just lost everything I ever owned. I see my things floating away and I can’t get to them.'
Woman almost risking drowning with her dog, her thoughts are with her "things"

Implying that guy did not spend more than 10K on that.

I think you couldn't even pull a girl from here if you tell her that you only own 10k by 26. Most people here own houses that are worth more, like the croatian NEET user.

I did this same thing with a friend. We bought a 2600 dollar boat though. It was a Cal 28.
Didn't really know much about sailing, but we took a class at the local community college where you went on a tiny lake nearby in little 8 foot dinghys.
Me and my friend made it down into Mexico and back. We had some engine problems, some rough seas, took us several months. Fun as fuck though. Time of my life.

I don't really have too much pity for these people though, because I'm assuming this was due to some truly retarded user error. Probably from the wife.

LMFAO THEY EVEN MET IN PHILADELPHIA

“Blow up dolls” is a phrase generally accepted to mean any sex doll.
No normal person with $40 would ever buy an actual “blow up doll”.
A silicone pussy/ass hole masturbator costs $35.
So fuck off with your 1980’s poor eurofuck blow up dolls, faggot.

I may have a pirate flag, but technically I am the closest thing to a pirate you know! We pilfered are fair share in the carribian. Point is, it can and has been done. Pur first boat was purchased for 10k and less than 5k in repairs till she was sea ready. Now our second boat was a 100k investment but is a true bliewater boat and very sufficient to live offgrid

Cool story bro.
Not politics

Thats how much you paid for that shit. Its actually worth about 1/4 of that now

Retards are usually poor

>a Real Doll is now indicative of financial success.
really? i thought real women were gold diggers. why can't a successful man get real pussy instead of plastic? gotta be shortfatandugly disease

People with tattoos are retarded

>I am the closest thing to a pirate you know!
Cringe.
Go back to {deleted}, faggot.
No one will give your faggot old ass praise here.

And how exactly did you afford all of this non-work?

Sounds like he earned thst flag faggot

If you have a lot of money in the U.S., the fastest way to lose it is a woman.
Just living with a woman for more than 2 years, unmarried, gives her the right to claim domestic partnership & half your money.

why is this even news
they didnt lose much
fucking dumb retards

It is politics. Extermination of all Bernie supporters is quite a politically hot button issue. Im for it.

>Samefagging to come to his own defense
Jesus Christ, this nigger is pure cringe.

Yasss Reddit show him !

It always tickles me when westerners go to live among shepherds, farmers, and hunter-gatherers to live the "simple life" and the natives call them retarded/crazy

i live on a boat. i poo in the water. you can't stop me.

>rohm also liked dicks in his ass
We wouldn't be in this mess if Rohm were left alive.

RV people literally become walmart shitters to survive. They travel from walmart parking lot to walmart parking lot, and are basically gypsies that use as many public amenities as possible. There was a case in Cottonwood, AZ where car-dwellers instigated a officer involved shooting in a walmart parking lot.

Thank you, as it was the harshest experience by far. Especially on a young marriage. We made it and loved it, we were in our 20s tp start and were not the brightest lightbulbs. Im not wanting amy praise from keyboard ninjas, just want more to follow their dreams before that is all they are. Our children and our marriage is stronger than they ever cpuld have been with out this and even a 14 yr old girl tells me constantly how glad she is we did it and that she didnt turn i to typical american trash kids.

These are white niggers. There is no reason to do something that stupid unless you have nig tier impulse control. Shame on them for having 50 years between them and only 10k$ to their names. These "people" should be hanged for being in poverty.

>a few houses in inheritance
>10k
The absolute state of Croatia.
Why are you so inferior to Serbia?

I hate when people don't realise this
>BUT I BOUGHT IT FOR FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
yeah cunt? I'll give you ten bucks.

Americans this stupid should be deported to Canada where they belong.

youre right all RV people should be learning how to program apps, because the world absolutely needs more of those fuckers.

>failure is really success

This attitude is why idiots still believe in communism.

They sold everything to get 10000$ ?

Given the loq.iq situation here, Tanner Broadwell and Nikki Walsh.

Here she is in all her glory, our Serenity. Remember a ship isnt just a ship, she is freedom to go any where.

Laugh all you want, but we lived off less than 600$ a month in the Caribbean and experience that was priceless.

Love. You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I don't think so. The blow-up part refers to blowing air into it.

The fuck are you even on about? Are you some assblasted dipshit baby boomer that is cruising around in an RV or something?

Fucking retards. i wish they had gone down with it instead of now being dolies for life

People like this generally end up dead. Especially after the dummies ripped the keel off - should be a signal to stop. They want to follow their dreams to davy jones locker it seems.

They spent their early lives being told they could "be anything you want to be," regardless of whether or not they possessed the skills, aptitudes, or basic physical ability to do so. Truly, the only solution is to stop enabling these fools and let reality thin the herd.

lmao put all that shit on craigslist youll get $1k max

>shtf
>entertainment electronics
I will give you one bottlecap for that shiny thing.

That's not a plus. Imagine how much money was spent rescuing these idiots, rather than allowing nature to take its course. Now they'll probably breed and pass on their stupidity and impulsiveness to another generation.

Too bad it didn't turn into "Open Water."

Doesn't look they had much to begin with. Good for them . They tried and failed. They are young and will be better for it

Any hull will get fucked up if piloted by an inexperienced idiot who doesn't understand how to read fucking channel markers.

Reading between the lines of the articles I've seen, hubby was relying on wife to know what the different markers meant, and she guided them out of the channel into shoals or rocks.

Blame online shopping. I'm serious, all these city slickers go to Mt. Everest in their Amazon
Basics sherpa set and expect to be ready for any adventure. Same mentality behind that retarded SJW who went to Africa to help and got eaten by a lion taking a selfie. These people have no awareness of reality.

No one is giving them credit where it is deserved. They had seatow! Which means, no tax dollars spent on rescue. If top tier coverage, sea tow is responsible for recovery of vessel. At least give credit where it is deserved.

>sailboat
>no experience
>no insurance

I remember reading that something like 57% of Americans have less than $1000 in savings. kek now I know why.
