<prompt> Human: Greetings FinanceIm a bit lost as to where I go from the point in the title considering the lifestyle I want to live. What financial means should I chase after in order to support my planned lifestyle? Should I just cast aside such ideas and just pursue the money to be made by the means I already have?I live very minimialistically, and save over half of my gross income. The five-ten year plan is to purchase a good used sailboat and live aboard while visiting different countries. Heres the problem; My expertise is in an IT heavy background with a small amount of trade skillsWeldingmechanics. With my limited skill set, I am afraid I would not be able to fiscally fuel such a lifestyle after purchasing the boat.Im 22 and Ive got 22k to work with. My paycheck is stable and I can find other jobs easily enough. I want to make a transition to living aboard in the next 5-10 years. How do I fuel such lofty endeavors financially?I spend about 1500 dollars a month after all bills and entertainment. Long term retirement options such as 401kRoth take too much time and money to be able to reach my short term savings goals.  <response>: It sounds like you have your heart set on what you want to do, and youve already outlined some ways you can fund yourself when you move into your new lifestyle. Youll need to do more research to get an idea of if those ideas are realistic and which would be most profitable. All of this said, you shouldnt be ignoring retirement savings now and when you transition to sailing, they work in part because they have many years to compound. If youre banking approximately 25,000 a year as you say you are, you should be able to purchase the sailboat 100k?, have a nice cash cushion for while you figure out an income while sailing, and save well for retirement.
