A Creative Alternative to Traditional Retirement Homes
A viral social media post highlights a humorous and unconventional approach to retirement planning. The author shares a story about their grandfather, who rejects the idea of moving into a nursing home due to high costs and poor quality of life. Instead, the grandfather proposes living in a luxury hotel near the beach. He argues that the daily rate is significantly cheaper than a nursing facility, while offering amenities like room service and a pool. Furthermore, he notes that the location would encourage frequent visits from his grandchildren, and he jokes that the hotel staff would be more concerned about his well-being than staff at a nursing home would be.
It's practically free, just sell you 5 bedroom double garage rancher you bought on a single income with pocket change and go anywhere with the 1.5 million profit you made. Or just live in your camper trailer, or on your boat. No working 2 jobs nust to eat and rent for you Mr Boom
200$ per day?! Americans are you sane people?
Whoa, does this date itself. Probably paid .60¢/ltr. for gas to get there
So who wipes your ass at the hotel?
Then you don't get the "nursing" part, and if you don't need that you don't need a nursing home and could just kept living where he does now
Nursing homes charge 200$ a day?
cruise lines, health care included
Meanwhile, in reality, DECENT beach front hotels are $300+ a night. Fuck, at a work conference I stayed at a place that was $480 a night on the company dime and it was pretty cool, but I wouldn't call it a "luxury" resort. Not to mention that room service is not free, anywhere...
Yeah but you won't get any nursing, although I'm not sure if nursing homes provide that either
Not sure where your 100$ luxury hotel near the beach exists? 250$ a night for a Days Inn near the train tracks is more the norm.
