IF you've ever wanted to drop everything and live in a tropical paradise, it may not be as expensive as you think. One man compared the monthly cost of living at a resort in Mexico and his apartment in Seattle. In his viral video , TikTok user Ben ( @Ivebentraveling ) broke down the costs of his month in Mexico.
"Have we ever considered that it’s actually cheaper to live in an all-inclusive resort than it is to live in the apartments that we currently occupy?" he asked his followers. Ben explained that his average monthly spending in Seattle amounts to $4,100. With this figure in mind, he began researching all-inclusive resorts in Mexico to carry out his experiment.
"There’s a chance I could go live an all-inclusive lifestyle somewhere for approximately the same cost as all of my monthly expenses and that’s crazy to me," he said as he made his selection. Ben spent 27 nights at a beachside resort, carefully recording all his spending habits while he was there. Working remotely, the social media user attempted to keep his normal routine for the most accurate comparison.
This included treating himself to an afternoon coffee and snack as well as keeping up with his regular gym routine. He took his viewers along as he worked from various areas of th resort, including in his room, in the cafe, by the pool, and on the beach. While Ben's stay cost him $4,900, he pointed out how it could potentially equate to the $4,100 he spends at home.
The TikToker listed some of the amenitie.
