"Lee Wachtstetter, an 86-year-old Florida widow, took her daughter's advice. She sold her five-bedroom Fort Lauderdale-area home on 10 acres and became a permanent luxury cruise ship resident after her husband died.
Mama Lee, as she's known aboard the 11-year-old Crystal Serenity, has been living on the 1,070-passenger vessel longer than most of its 655 crewmembers — nearly seven years."

I'm still failing to see how spending $14K/mo to live on a boat makes any sense.

Buffet is always open.

If you've got the money (and that's the big caveat here), why sit in a house somewhere waiting out the rest of your years when you could travel, constantly meet new people and enjoy the luxuries of being cared for buy all the staff.

Wonder what kind of discount she gets (if any).
- rønin
There's always a discount on cruises.

If that's all-inclusive then it's not too terrible of a deal.
- That's So CAJ!
