Old Town said:100 percent the way I want to live. I'm 53, no kids and never been married. Living in a paradise. I owe no money and have more than I need. I work for 18 months then take 6 months off. I planned this existence in my 20s.
I feel the biggest error a lad can make is getting married. So many options leave you when you take on another person's ideas of what constitutes a happy life. I grew up on an island with so many pretty and constantly changing women I cannot imagine only taking one. (then releasing it - good conservation practice, like fishing)
Alone you can truly do what you want. I started a boat building business at 30 after working for another man in the same trade since I was 13 and sweeping floors when not in school. I work the hours I want and have all kinds of time to play. I windsurf, sail, free dive and shoot guns when not building boats. Around me are all the pals I grew up with and many others who came to the island.
Have had a chance to sail to just about every island in the Caribbean and off South America. Could not have done this married. This is the key. Stay single you young fellows. You will accumulate money and never have to worry about a doggone thing as you get older.

This is why I never had children....or married one
P.S. tell Tony Roberts that Tori from Indiana sez hello!
