We can start / share what investment ideas or what portfolio we have? Investment is a such a broad subject. Seafarers surely must be in touch with personal finance, if not come back shore. money all spent, end up might as well dont sail. Looking at the money we can save at Sea, really make our sacrifice and those sweat worth it.
