Travel expert says it's CHEAPER to live full-time at an all-inclusive resort abroad than paying rent and expenses in big US cities - as he compares the cost of living to the hotel at his expense of $4,000 in Seattle.
A travel influencer has revealed why it can actually be cheaper to live full-time at a resort all-in. than renting an apartment on top of living expenses in most major cities.
TikTok creator Ben Keenan, of Seattle, compared his own monthly budget at the estimated cost of a month's stay at a number of cheaper resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic with all-inclusive booking options.
'Have we ever thought that it's actually cheaper to live in an all-inclusive resort than to live in the apartments we currently occupy? I was curious about it myself… and decided to test it out,” he began in his clip.
Ben explained how he pays $2,300 for rent plus other expenses: including $300 for utilities, $320 for his car and his insurance, $400 for food and $600 for drinks and dining out, among other recurring payments, bringing his total monthly expenses to about $4,000.
