Better stay in a resort than own home

After initially shelling out ?950 per month for his Manchester apartment, Josh Kerr stumbled upon an astonishing revelation.

He discovered that booking an all-inclusive resort in Turkey for 28 nights, inclusive of flights, would cost him just ?938.

Demonstrating his savvy approach, he shared the process of using On The Beach to secure a deal at the Xoria Deluxe Resort in Antalya.

"Start by searching for all-inclusive deals, then set the filter to show the lowest prices first. Check this out ¨C It¡¯s a five-star hotel, and they even include hold luggage, so there won¡¯t be any extra charges for that. Alongside, you get 20kg of luggage and fast-track security. What more could you want,?" said Josh Kerr, in a video posted on social media.

Josh added, "I've just found out it's cheaper to live at a 5-star all-inclusive resort than it is to live in Manchester. Even looking at the gaff, it's a 5-star hotel. I mean, it looks pretty bog-standard to me, it's decent for ?900 a month."

Manchester: A costly area for renting

A comment was made by an individual: "Does WFH now stand for work from holiday?" Another participant added, "I work online. I could definitely manage that," and another person joined the conversation by expressing, "Remote working is becoming even more appealing."

Within Greater Manchester, Manchester is notably the most expensive area for renting accommodations. This is primarily due to the considerably high rental prices in the city center.

Meanwhile in India, Mumbai ranks among the most expensive cities in India for accommodation rentals, closely followed by New Delhi and Bengaluru, according to Mercer¡¯s 2023 Cost of Living survey released today.
