You should budget for all aspects of your future lifestyle. Most people tend to ignore the last part of the exercise; they either think they will never return to a shore side life, or they just ignore the subject altogether. You can plan and budget for all main stages of your cruising adventure including the end, and still not detract from the overall excitement. Choosing the right boat will go a long way towards the planning for the end of the cruise; a well chosen boat capable of holding or enhancing its value, will help to provide you with a re-establishment fund when you move ashore. Lifetime partnerships often start when couples meet in foreign ports, children are born, and other factors may require a change to your plans during a cruise.
