If I didn't have any debt, Hmmmm....
My wife and I have talked about retiring in St. Thomas, USVI. Spending the fall, winter and spring there and then returning to Michigan for the summer. A much larger boat would be in the picture along with a Harley motor cycle.. We have new cars now but maybe a Corvette. But, putting me into a Corvette now seems like reverse Engineering.. I wish that I had a Vette when I was younger... Soon we will be out of Debt when my last child graduates from College... I just hope that I don't have to start paying for my grand-daughter!!

Lets see.... i would move to a house on the water instead of living a block and a half away, and would have a bigger boat. Also travel more than I do now. I think of what we can have and it makes me want to vomit. Been workin' on getting it out of our hair and it won't be too long...

Without a house and truck payment. I would be looking at something like Hammer's boat. Maybe the next size down.

In reality in the spring I expect to continue chasing the American dream of having it all by going deeper into debt and getting on the water with what ever I can afford.

Personal money management is a long learning process. IMO very important but not taught well in schools with bad habits learned from friends and family.
I like Hammer's idea of not working, or at least have more free (non work) time available. Buying a vaction place down south has a certain apeal too (rental $ and personal trips).

I'd take my oldest on an extended european vacation. Get a decent house and stop driving around in nice "family" cars.
Hang out in Birmingham, perpetrating that I am somebody and then leave them trashy walletsniffers in the dirt after I have my way with them!!

Now, back to the original thread. If I didn't have any debt, I definately couldn't be a boat owner.

BOAT = BIG DEBT!!! Bigger the boat, the bigger the debt.....simple math.
