On social media, TikToker Josh Kerr moved into an all-inclusive 5-star resort abroad because it's cheaper per month than rent and bills, leaving viewers stunned.
In the footage, he was browsing the internet for an all-inclusive holiday deal when he discovered that a stay at a resort was seemingly on par with his monthly rent.
Upon further investigation, he realized it would be a better deal than his typical monthly expenses in Manchester, UK.
Josh found a five-star all-inclusive resort in Antalya, Turkey, equipped with a pool, gym, and more, which cost $1,175 for a month.
He then compared this cost with his monthly bills, rent, and council tax, which totaled $1,190, not including food or drink.
Josh eventually traveled to Turkey in collaboration with On the Beach, staying at Port River Hotel and Spa in Antalya.
He enjoyed multiple plates of food, flowing drinks, and a stunning beach located just 300 meters away. His experience quickly gained attention on social media.
In the comments section, many were in awe of Josh's hack, while others claimed that the price Jack provided was not real, expressing incredulity about his sharing.
One person said: Does "all inclusive" include tea? Because if not, we're out.
A second wrote: Or he could have rented a house there, and save even more.
While a third commented: What resort is cheaper than rent?last time I went on an all inclusive it was 10g for 1 week (family of 4).
While a third commented: Lol, after few weeks, he still will have to return to his rented appartment so he can be close to work and afford life expenses unless he actually work remotely.
