Might have to. I think we need to move…again.
And pay TWICE what we pay here. But I’m tired and this is simply an apartment. There’s this other place. It’s is simply a 55+ apartment. Wonderful, lush grounds…AND…
•a bit over 300 sq feet more than we have here
•someone comes in each morning and makes the bed and takes out the trash
•weekly there is more thorough housekeeping and they change bed linens and launder them. They have a DIY no-charge laundry room or someone will do our laundry for a per-load fee. (I think it’s $10.)
•breakfast, served in dining room from 7:00 - 9:30 am, is included in the price
•there is a $450 dining allowance for lunch and/or dinner. It is menu service. (Meals are priced individually and the $450 should cover 25-30 dinners…use it or lose it monthly, can’t carry extra credits to next month.)
•this means that even though there‘s a full kitchen, we’d probably only plan, shop and prepare lunch
•there IS underground parking, but they provide their own local (within 10 miles) shuttle
•there’s a pool and a spa and a ton of activities, including exercises we need. I’m not much of an activity person, but himself might be
And more on the Plus Side.
On the Minus Side…
•”rent” would amount to 80% of our gross income…crazy for rent, not as crazy for rent, utilities, breakfast and dinner, local transportation, pool, spa, exercise, housekeeping, etc.
•all that housekeeping likely means less privacy
•trek to MiniSue’s goes from 1.5 miles to 4.1 miles each way
