Angelyn and Richard Burk , 53 , hope to spend around $36,000 a year on a cruise ship.

The Burks have called cruise ships their home since May 2021 and have no plans to go back to their lives as landlubbers.

The average price of a home in Tukwila , Washington , is about $607,000 . Let's say you moved there today , put down 20% and financed the rest, the mortgage would cost you around $44,000 .
