Couple Sells Everything To Buy Sailboat... Sinks 2 Days Later

so Fox News article some of you have seen it and been sending it to me on Twitter a couple sells all possessions for sailboat sinks two days into trip a Colorado couple who dreamed of a life sailing around the world had the wind taken out of their sails when their boat capsized nearly two days into their trip a couple's plan for a better life has been sunk but a bunch okay Nikki Walsh 24 and her boyfriend Kenny Tanner Broadwell 26 decided nearly a year ago that they were tired of working how can we live our lives when we work most of the day and you have to pay so much of it just to live Walsh said who booked timeshare tours for a living most of the work you do just goes to your home there has to be another option she added so the Colorado couple sold all their furniture and their SUV and purchased a 49 year old boat in Alabama to live on and eventually sail the world in the couple moved on to the 28 foot boat which was in the marina of tarpon springs a town of Florida's Gulf Coast lived there for months with their two-year-old pug Remmy while they stocked up on food and supplies the couple had planned their trip for a year both quitting their jobs and selling all their worldly possessions in Colorado before moving out to Florida to live on their twenty eight foot boat we were pretty prepared Walsh said of gathering items to last them for their planned trip to the Caribbean however the two were not prepared for what happened next nearly two days into their venture the couple's boat capsized in a channel of water called John's past we thought the channel was where we were going but it wasn't walsh told the post telling the publication they were armed with the gps and paper navigation charts local boat captains say the sandbars often shift in John's past John's pass we started freaking out because waves were coming when you weren't on the ocean and it was tossing our boat back and forth you wanted to say both Broadwell was near the rear of the boat holding on to Remy we're in the trouble hit my hands were shaking we were terrified before abandoning ship the said they grab some clothes and important documents as well as things for their dogs I also grabbed Remy's food just about everything he needed said wash he doesn't deserve to go without his favorite toys while she admitted she and her boyfriend who used to drive for uber or new to sailing yeah I think once the most the couple lost all their material possessions I'm shouldn't be laughing this is a sad story the pair said they have $90 and no jobs and no boat insurance what I thought you were prepared however the couple has been left with just 90 dollars in cash no jobs no boat insurance say they're still hopeful for their world sailing plans because they've started a GoFundMe begging people to give them help them not give up on their dreams and quotes the pair is seeking $10,000 to rescue the ship this is not a ship boys and girls it's a boat it's 28 feet long it's in four foot of water sunk off the coast of Madeira Beach Florida said raising the boat alone will call $6,700 we've got a lot of family helping us but it's hard when you've lost everything you only have one life why spend it why not spend it doing what you love why spend it doing what you don't love money isn't everything he told the post yeah money isn't everything why does the GoFundMe there apparently money just something you need what I'm having trouble with is their 24 and 26 and they were tired of working and we're tired of working I mean if you were 44 and 46 54 and 56 or 64 and 66 but you're 24 you haven't been working long enough to be tired of working it's possible but money isn't everything boat insurance is but that costs money but money isn't everything you know so this is so hard to not be harsh I just want to be funny instead of being harsh it's just it's but it's so sad because I can tell you I've done so many stupid things in my life and the list of stupid things in this story is so long and every time I do something stupid you don't need the guys it costs it brings me pain and cost me money and that's what happened to these guys so my prayer for them is that no one gives them a dime for their GoFundMe account because these two really just don't like to work much they're not very responsible they you know when we get off the boat the main thing we do is we save the pugs toys because the Pug doesn't deserve that pug doesn't deserve to be with you people like your irresponsible pugs are great I like pugs he doesn't deserve to go without his favorite toys this is what's occurring to her as her boat is sinking without insurance the Pug toys it's somebody will give this you have money they just go fund me I'm sure because you only have one life why spending it why spend it doing what you don't love money isn't everything no it's not everything and you shouldn't spend your whole life doing what you don't love but unless like your goal is to not work ever and have other people give you money so you can sail around the Caribbean and call that fulfillment that's not gonna work out for you I can't imagine having a 24 year old daughter and coming in and telling me hey Dad my boyfriend and I are going to the Caribbean we have no clue what we're gonna do and we think we're prepared and we just don't want to work much I could just break my heart because here's what's gonna happen these people are going to be it's gonna take them a decade to recognize that they're gonna have to work work is not a bad thing work gives you dignity work is where money comes from not GoFundMe and you know and if you call yourself prepared but you are have no idea how to sale and yet you're sailing and you forgot to buy insurance on your boat or just chose not to you're what we call sunk problems right I mean really oh gosh so I hope I hope they I hope yeah the problem is your dreams become your nightmares when you don't know how to live life like an adult that's the problem and adults devise a plan and follow what children do what feels good these are a couple of children and I'm not making fun of them I'm not picking on them it's just it's just sad and what's sad is is it's actually a new story and I'm so stupid I actually read it so and then took a whole segment of the show on it but you know the point is is that sometimes I'm poor sometimes I struggle with money because of my stupidity sometimes I struggle with money because of my lack of character sometimes I struggle with money because other people take advantage of me sometimes I struggle with money because of the situation I was born into and I haven't learned to rise above that particular situation yet so there's legitimate reasons that people are poor that are not their fault not these two these two a hundred percent of it is their fault and that's pretty much stupid tax on steroids right there and and I hate I was older than that when I lost everything because I was stupid and I lost a lot more than that and for a lot of different reasons but yeah it's done folks you're gonna be doing work and then your if you're smart once you get your bills paid then you'll start doing work that you do love and that you do care about and that does have meaning but you're gonna be doing work it gives you dignity it causes your brain to work and it causes you to be able to live your dreams rather than somebody else's nightmare what a mess this is the Dave Ramsey show [Music]
