What floats your boat?

When I was a child, I saw the old movie "Houseboat" with Sophia Loren (my parents only let us watch clean, old movies), and decided I wanted to live on a big houseboat. Now that I'm older I'm not that impressed with that kind of living. Did anyone else want to live on a houseboat? Is there a way of life you thought you'd follow, but you changed your mind once you got older and/or wiser?

Smaller house that you can see the four corners is ideal for me now.

I suffer of aquaphobia, so I never had the dream to live on something floating on water. I would have loved to live in a large farmhouse.

A farmhouse is much more desirable to me than a houseboat these days. Have you ever seen Fixer Upper with Chip and Joanna Gaines (not sure if they aired in Europe)? I like their farmhouse.

@AmbiePam No, I have never seen Fixer Upper, but I still love large farmhouses.

Living on a houseboat never appealed to me. I thought I’d like to live in a cute doll-like house with a white picket fence. After growing up in a new large, contemporary house, designed by my father, I decided I like a large home that was more traditional. My condo in Florida is my dollhouse. lol

I always thought a lighthouse would be nice but sometimes the weather would be incredibly bad.

I never wanted to live on a houseboat but I always imagined a really new house with all the modern conveniences with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms...and I had a housekeeper to clean it! Stay safe and healthy!

I did dream of living in a houseboat, then I had some weeks living in a friend's (small) boat once. I changed my mind afterwards.

I could handle a houseboat, but maybe not a permanent basis. It would be fun to do for a few weeks in the summer perhaps.

Yes, I wanted to live on a houseboat, and I still do, but I don't know how practical it is.

I guess it goes with the quotation 'when I was a child I reasoned like a child'.
