Since you have a job why not buy a small boat now and live
at a marina for the next 4 years? It'll still be cheaper
than what you're paying on land (unless you're living with
your parents). You could anchor out in the warmer months.
Huntin' and fishin' aren't going to save you money, spam and
mac/cheese will.
