NBC reports as cruise ship ‘hits dock’ at San Francisco pier<\/h3>\n

Angelyn and Richard Burk, on the surface, seem like your every day retired American couple.<\/p>\n

They travel all over the world, enjoy their days without having to work, and spend time with one another.<\/p>\n

But the Burks are actually a unique couple because they’ve sold their home to live on various cruise ship.<\/p>\n

They claim this way of living not only saves them money, but allows them to travel the world.<\/p>\n

The Burks told CNN that their cost of living before their retirement was $75,000 USD a year.<\/p>\n

They added that while both of them worked, they “lived off the one smaller salary” and banked the other salary \u2014 even though it wasn’t clear which of the pair made more money.<\/p>\n

But a freak accident in 2013 when, according to Angelyn, ‘all of our things went up in flames in a moving truck’, the couple were forced to rethink their way of life.<\/p>\n

“We were always looking to cruises, because it kept calling to us,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s so easy. You just book a cruise and it takes you to different places.”<\/p>\n
