A friend of mine that is 63 years old was widowed 6 years ago . He took it pretty hard. All he had was his military pension and money that he made fixing lawnmowers. His mobile home and property are paid. He was an avid fisherman that went to the cumberland river every weekend to fish with his friends that he knew from the army. He met a woman from louisville online and fell in love. She was a widower with a 46 year old son living with her. Her son has a bad drug habit and can't keep a job. Last February he called me and told me "I tied the knot 30 minutes ago". I congratulated him and asked where he was. He said "at the insurance agent changing his life insurance". She would not move into his mobile home because it was not hers. It belonged to his deceased wife and she would not move in. After a year he had his mobile home moved and a new 3 bedroom doublewide in place. She sold her house and paid off the first and second mortgages and some of her credit card bills. She and her son moved in but his wife continued to work in Louisville. A few months ago she retired but got a part time job closer to home. Since she has moved in he has sold his boat because she would not get in it. She also bought a new jeep. I stop and see him every now and then and she is almost never there. He was doing laundry the last time I stopped over. He called me today and said that he is selling his home and everything he has but her Jeep and buying a house boat. He plans to live on the house boat and travel the Mississippi. In the summer live in the North and winter in the south. I know he has a limited income and she has a small pension. Is it very expensive to maintain a houseboat? I don't think this is a wise move for him to be making. What do you guys think? What can I say to talk him out of it? Or should I?
