(+) Yeah! (+)

I could fill up a whole thread on how stupid the average fast food customer is. And I also happen to live in the lowest ranked state in the whole country in terms of education, so I've seen the dumbest of the dumbest.

(And to be fair, I've also seen more than my share of dumb employees, both as a customer and from coworkers.)

First of all, I love how before he asked them, he literally says, " Now now, boys", but this reminds me of a game I once heard. I listen to this group who plays TTRPGs. And one of the ones they played was Pokmon And one guy played Professor Oak. And that was his main catch phrase... The best part was one guy wasn't familiar with Pokmon, and this question through for the same loop Ash had in this video. He was very confused...

There comes a point where hating something is nothing but cringe. Places like Reddit and Imgur passed that point long ago.

When someone tries to flex on somebody like "I'm a grown adult with a wife and kids so I don't have time to sit around playing video games all day" it's like dude did you really think that's a win?

Or paying for assisted living places etc. It's seriously crazy.

There are ways to make it cost less than $100/day on a cruise, especially if it's a specific cruise line you repeately use, and you book the new cruises while ON the cruise.

Royal Carribian for instance, you can get a standard room for about $120/day normally, but here is the trick, you can get up to $600 on board credit (per person) along with other advantages if you book while on a cruise already. The required min length of the cruise to get the full $600 is a 7 day cruise.

So how do you set it up to pay less than $100 a day (including tips per day etc, which are 14.50 a day per person?).

Both parties make a cruise reservation (multiple in advance) for 7 day cruises back and forth between 2 ports (go from 1 cruise ship to another, or sometimes you can even do it on the same ship). Both get the $600 on board credit per day. Base cost is $120 a day each *7 days is $840 each. In addition you pay 14.50 (or 29$) a day in tips (this are voluntary mind you, so you could avoid that but then the people on the ship don't get paid so that would be pretty sucky).

There are taxes and fees that are added to that, so your end cost is 1680 + 201= 1881 + 188$ (taxes) = 1969$ per 7 days. Kinda expensive right?

Nope, because you book it ON a cruise you get $600 of onboard credit back. Big deal right? that just means you can buy things on board and doesn't reduce the price.

Nope, you can go into any casino on the boat and transfer onboard credit onto any slot machine, and then cash out right away to get it back in cash. The above two people can both do that, so they get $1200 back per 7 days, making the total cost to be under $800 per 7 days or just about $100 total per day for both (about $50 each per day).

That includes the room, all the meals and basic drinks (lemonade/water/coffee or tea with breakfast etc).

It does not include internet ($20 a day but if you choose the right location/cruise you can use your phone for internet often even when not in port). Free tv is included and of course all the activities on the ship etc.

Still adds up to alot, but it's FAR cheaper then most assisted living. You have someone make up your room every day etc. Laundry is usually about $30 a bag, but some cruise lines have 1 free laundry day a week.

For an elderly couple this is really not a horrid idea, especially if you have an expensive home you have not paid off, or that has extreme taxes (since many homes are valued so high, taxes by the state can be over $1000 a month now, which is very hard for an elderly couple to handle if they are just on social security.

Instead, they can sell the home, get a bunch from the sale (even if they still have a mortgage) and with social security + the money from the sale easily live on cruise ships for the rest of their lives.

Nifty, but what about like...the actual medical care part of it? If you're elderly, that's the main reason you're in assisted living in the first place.

My goal is to remain in my home and just hire someone to take care of me, if it's still feasible by then...
Never want to end up in those assisted living homes that treat you horribly and charge insane amounts...
But like, my grandfather was paying $120K/year over a decade ago. Surely for that kind of money I could literally just hire someone full time to care for me...

Yeah those assisted living places can be hell, especially if you have no visitors. I tried to help out with others as much as I could when my wife was in one for awhile, and some of the stories were so sad (also some relatives/sons etc are so freaking mean omg).

Health conditions could make it harder if you need a nurse etc, but honestly you could probably get a nurse to be your companion and just pay for their portion and it would still be cheaper (and the nurse would be happy living on a cruise ship and partying it up lolz hehe).

I highly recommend the elderly get a live in nurse instead of going to a home etc if they can. If they already paid off their home and can afford the taxes etc, and have a spare room, you can get someone to live with you and help with shopping/making meals etc, and light nurse needs, and still have a fairly normal life where you are mostly self sufficient.

Would also help alot of younger people with housing which is ridiculously expensive right now. The problem is alot of elderly want to charge rent while getting nursing services for free lol. My friend had a situation like that, where the owner charged him 900 a month for a room, but then wanted him to do tons of work and help him shop etc. IF someone is living with you and helping take care of you, do the shopping etc, you really shouldn't be charging them rent as well, heck if you can afford it you should pay them, but certainly don't expect them to spend 40+ hours a month helping you AND pay full rent.

I know in my grandfather's case, that place was terrible.
Lots of people dying who really didn't seem that old or unhealthy, multiple cases of them giving the wrong pills/dosages...
Luckily he's a vet so we found out he could move to a Veteran's Home and just get charged 80% of his social security (so...not much) instead, and they were way better.

Yeah, made more sense to me. I'll move to a cheaper country if I have to, in order to make it feasible...

Yeah, that's nuts. I didn't even think I could count the "free rent" as part of the payment, but if that's the norm, then it should be super affordable. Expecting them to pay you to stay at your house and care for you is peak boomer entitlement, lol

Works for nanny's as well. I owned a home so when I worked as a nanny, I just got paid (only $10 an hour and even that really added up fast). The person who worked for my family before me lived with them though and only got paid a bit over room and board (saved up and moved to Africa which is why I took over).

Live in Nanny's are great for families with young children where both parents work. If you have an extra room in your house it's pretty easy to get a college student etc that will live there and be a nanny for almost nothing.

Same for the elderly with live in care. Honestly it's not really worth it anymore since most jobs pay $15 or more an hour, even part time, and you can rent a room in most areas for $500 or so (including utilities and internet). That means at $15/hr + you only need to work less than 10 hours a week to pay for the same benefit you get as a live in nanny/elderly care, and any additional work you do is extra cash for you (generally far more than you get paid in addition to room and board as a nanny etc.

Eventually that is probably going to change things, but for now, $10/hr is still the norm for a nanny in many areas, and plenty of people exchange those services for room and board as well. As more boomers need home care though it'll change i'm sure.
