<prompt> Human: Bit of an odd one, I am 18 right now and I want to be living in a boat by the time I am 25. By living in a boat I dont mean commuting from the marina I mean living with no job just exploring and enjoying my limited youth while I can. Having said that I would still like to be prepared for the future so my question is how much should I save to be still saving a decent amount for retirement without any effort after I moved into a boat.Little confusing so let me clarify, I figure I will need to save 50,000 in untouchable money by the time I am 25 just to put in some kind of investment account so it can continue to make capital without any of my own effort. So what should I put that money into that will be safe for 5 years of untouched accumulation? Edit Quick clarification this is more than likely an unrealistic goal I am just getting a feel for it. Now as to what I would be doing for money it would probably be anything leftover after I meet all my goals. The amount per year that I would be spending for one person would be relatively low.  <response>: What will you do for money? Owning a boat is expensive.BOAT stands for Bring On Another Thousand.Just paying for regular maintenance will bankrupt you.
