Couple sells all possessions for sailboat, sinks 2 days into trip

http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2018/0...into-trip.html


Cliffs:

* Nikki Walsh,24, and boyfriend Tanner Broadwell,26, decided nearly a year ago that they weretired of working.
* couple sold everything and purchased a 49-year-old boat in Alabama to live on and eventually sail the world in.
* Spend months stocking up on supplies
*Two days into trip boat sinksbecause they don't know where sandbars are
* Before abandoning ship, they make sure to grab stuff for their dog because “He doesn’t deserve to go without his favorite toys.”
*Now left with just $90 in cash, no jobs and no boat insurance
* Starting a GoFundMe



Strong everything.

curious what "all possessions" pre boat equaled ? $500? $1000? $10000? $100k?

I am sure it was a minimal amount

Possessions and commitment just tie you down, OP.

Get out there and see the world. Live, laugh, love.





EDIT: No boat insurance. Just lol.

This story just delivers on every level.

It's hard to pick out the biggest fail in this story, but that's right near the top.

inb4 they make a killing off their GoFundMe

Srs tho big websites like Fox, CNN, etc play financial God all the time. Sh!t like this happens every day, these people just got lucky a huge website decided to both publish their story as well as link their GoFundMe page.

She says "money isn't everything" then starts a go fund me begging for money to do all the things they want to do.


Honestly I hope they die on the next boat trip. The world doesn't need people so stupid.

I don't think you understand how many dues they paid by being Uber drivers for a couple of years.
