Do you consider yourself a nonconformist? If you have a love for the water and no kids to support, you may be a great candidate for houseboat living.
There’s something quite magical about living on the water, and life’s too short not to at least give it a try. Here are five good reasons to live on a houseboat:
If You Don’t Like Your Neighbors, You Can Move
Whether you are renting or you own property on land, you never really know what your neighbors are like until it’s too late.
Perhaps you didn’t realize that the divorced dad living next door holds all night parties every single weekend that are so loud even your dog can’t sleep.
Maybe you have a busybody next-door neighbor who is always getting involved in your personal life, whether you like it or not.
When you live on a houseboat, you can pick up and move if your neighbors are a bunch of jerks. Finally, you’ll be able to obtain the peace and quiet you’re looking for by simply floating to a new location.
You’ll Sleep Like a Baby
Do you love the feel of gently rocking waves? In the 1980’s, people loved waves so much that waterbeds were enormously popular.
You can think of your houseboat as one big, relaxing waterbed (minus the mess if you accidentally pop the mattress). Whether you are sleeping for the night or simply napping in your favorite chair, you’ll peacefully doze off to the rhythm of the rocking waves.
No Housing Regulations
Are you a fan of colorful homes? Perhaps in the past, you couldn’t paint your home a bright color because of housing regulations, but you can do whatever you darn well please with the exterior of your houseboat.
Better yet, you won’t have a yard to maintain, so nobody can get on your case for not mowing the lawn. As a houseboat resident, you’ll experience the ultimate in freedom.
You Are a Fishing Maniac
Is fishing your favorite recreational activity? When you live on a houseboat, you can fish as much as your heart desires.
Another added perk is that you don’t even have to leave your home to go fishing. Let the fish come to you as you lounge about on your deck and cast a line.
You Are a Freelancer
If you are a freelance writer, there’s no reason why you couldn’t live on a houseboat as long as you had a decent Wifi connection.
Writing isn’t the only freelance job out there; graphic designers and developers are all perfect candidates for the freelance lifestyle, which could also translate into houseboat living.
