[world-cruising] Re: Annual Budget while cruising

    Based on actual measured data for a family of three, we figure that for
    two of us the budget will be about $20k / year.

    During three years of US West Coast cruising, while working full time I
    generated an income of $X every month net after taxes, employer insurance
    deductions etc - real take home pay.

    Of that income, $Y went to pay some fixed debts, and $1400/month went to
    pay college tuition for #2 daughter. That left $2000/month that we lived
    on. This was for three people, living in California - frequently in
    marinas - because we had to maintain cellular phone connections for me to
    generate the above mentioned income.

    I figure that the costs will go down with one less mouth to feed, and
    costs should go down substantially if we are further afield. Thus my
    price of $2k/month is probably generous. By how much I don't know.

    Hope this helps
