I just bought a whole house for the price of a boat.

I just paid 375,000 for a 3 bedroom house that my wife, toddler, and I will live in. That’s a ton of money. <br><br>But in the same city where I bought my house, you can also find 3 bedroom yachts/boats that go for 300,000. <br><br>It makes me think about how odd it is that we pay so much money for these things that we use so infrequently. A house is a home and we spend a lot of time in it, but a boat is a luxury item 99% of people don’t need. Where is the value in these items?<br><br>I think the coolest thing about minimalism is just breaking free from that mindset of buying more things that we don’t actually use or need. <br><br>Let’s all just live on a commune and share one boat.
