Retirees are going to spend his twilight years at a Holiday Inn

Retirement is costly. According to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics knowledge, households which might be 65 or older spend a median of $45,756 per yr, or kind of $3,800 a month. That's simply $1,000 brief of the average spent by means of all U.S. households blended. And bearing in mind that a GoBankingRates survey found 57 percent of Americans have lower than $1,000 in savings, individuals are having a look to get monetary savings anywhere they are able to. 

Terry Robinson, from Spring, TX, has a sexy artful plan for the following stage in his lifestyles. Instead of heading to a retirement neighborhood, he's going to spend his twilight years at a Holiday Inn—and it's going to be cheaper. 

Robinson wrote a Facebook post detailing his retirement plans, which has since long gone viral with over 105,000 stocks and plenty of feedback. He begins:

"No nursing home for us. We'll be checking into a Holiday Inn! With the average cost for a nursing home care costing $188.00 per day, there is a better way when we get old and too feeble." It turns out like Terry has the whole thing mapped out. First he checked on room charges to resolve what money he'd have left after protecting lodging.

"I've already checked on reservations at the Holiday Inn. For a combined long term stay discount and senior discount, it's $59.23 per night."

Robinson is going on to element all of the advantages of dwelling at a Holiday Inn instead of a nursing home. After all, a night's stay in a hotel doesn't just duvet housing — there are a lot of facilities to revel in.

"Breakfast is included, and some have happy hours in the afternoon," he wrote. "That leaves $128.77 a day for lunch and dinner in any restaurant we want, or room service, laundry, gratuities and special TV movies." And he would not want a lot of that money to cross toward other incidental prices of living. As he points out, a gym club wouldn't be important.

"Plus, they provide a spa, swimming pool, a workout room, a lounge and washer-dryer, etc. "

Plus, he'd save a lot of cash on toiletries, since they are complimentary. "Most [hotels] have free toothpaste and razors, and all have free shampoo and soap."

Plus, he issues out that the group of workers are more likely to deal with you well. "$5-worth of tips a day and you'll have the entire staff scrambling to help you. They treat you like a customer, not a patient."

He's even figured out transportation. "There's a city bus stop out front, and seniors ride free. The handicap bus will also pick you up (if you fake a decent limp). To meet other nice people, call a church bus on Sundays." 

Living at a Holiday Inn additionally opens up the chance to commute. 

"For a change of scenery, take the airport shuttle bus and eat at one of the nice restaurants there. While you're at the airport, fly somewhere. Otherwise, the cash keeps building up."

Another sexy upside Terry discovered is that there is no looking forward to a Holiday Inn. "It takes months to get into decent nursing homes. Holiday Inn will take your reservation today."

Plus, for the reason that hotel chain is in every single place, he isn't even tied to one location (despite the fact that he would possibly in finding the rate is not rather as inexpensive in each vacation spot): "And you're not stuck in one place forever -- you can move from Inn to Inn, or even from city to city. Want to see Hawaii? They have Holiday Inn there too. "

Plus, you would not have to concern about home repairs in a resort. "TV broken? Light bulbs need changing? Need a mattress replaced? No problem.. They fix everything, and apologize for the inconvenience."

If you might be thinking he is overlooking the care one will get in a retirement home, he's thought to be that as neatly, and feels confident the staff of Holiday Inn are up to the task. "The Inn has a night security person and daily room service. The maid checks to see if you are ok. If not, they'll call an ambulance . . . Or the undertaker." 

"If you fall and break a hip, Medicare will pay for the hip, and Holiday Inn will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life," he says, although we aren't so positive about that improve claim. You'll have to ask your concierge.

Family visits are also a breeze with Terry's solution "They will always be glad to find you, and probably check in for a few days mini-vacation. The grand-kids can use the pool."

Seems like he's truly were given it all discovered. "What more could I ask for? So, when I reach that golden age, I'll face it with a grin."

Plenty of other people appear to be on Robinson's aspect with his inventive plan. One commenter wrote, "I agree with you. The hotel will wash the sheets and towels for you, too. In some of the assisted living places you have to wash everything."

Another Facebook user identified that some persons are already doing this very factor. "I’ve actually met an elderly lady one time that was actually living in a Hampton Inn. She was quite content."
