It isn't something I'm considering doing now or in the near future. I live in a lovely little terraced house and I'm very happy here. I love my house. But the walls are extremely thin and I get really severe noise anxiety, things are fine at the moment but I'm thinking ahead if I ever get awful neighbours. I read some stories on here and I just wouldn't be able to cope. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford another house that isn't terraced. So I'm trying to think of other ways out.
I have spent loads of time on narrowboats and I absolutely love them all year round be it muddy and freezing or sunny and warm. The physical sacrifices wouldn't bother me (less space, less clothes, smaller fridge etc) it's more the expense and upkeep I have reservations about. I'd want to moor at a marina, which I know will up the costs.
But the way of life and the serenity of it is absolutely perfect for someone like me. Honestly it's my absolute dream. But I know it's not bricks and mortar...
Thoughts? I'm in my early 40s and earn £35k per year. No children, pets or partner.
