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. 

He compared the cost of an all-inclusive resort in Antalya, Turkey, to his monthly bills.

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.

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.
