Senior Apartment Sharing and VA benefits can save even more on your retirement if you were a veteran or your spouse was a veteran and you qualify for the VA Program. Apartment Sharing will help you and the economy. Don't let the economy slow you down, it is a time in you life when your kids are out of the house. You are interested in traveling, dining out, theatre, socializing, and living in an apartment with no worries. You turn the key to the apartment walk in and live, no mowing, snow shoveling, fixing the door or roof or any of that. If you are interested in finding a friend to share some time with and you want go places this is your time. Traveling with a friend is safer, more enjoyable and less expensive. Travel is just one of the advantages of living with a friend.
What kind of an arrangement would make it easy to do all of these things at an affordable cost. Senior Resort Living is the best option I have found. You pay one monthly rent that includes your lights, water, cable TV, Heat and Air conditioning. It includes your socializing, theater, entertainment and fitness center with Spa. It includes your dining at least three meals a day and some have anytime dining. It includes some scheduled transportation to professional appointments. It includes safety, security, and valet services with concierges to get your car when you need it, make arrangements for cab service, get tickets to a theartre production and bring you a meal if you don't feel well.
The cost of all this for a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment would be around $3,200 dollars a month. If you decided to have a friend live with you the cost of the second person drops to $400 and when you divide the $3,600 between two people, you and a friend the cost is $1800 dollars per person. There are even programs to help you find a friend if you don't know a friend. People like yourself that may be interested in the same things your along with saving money by spliting the cost. As we get further in this economy we see that finding ways to conserve our saving is going to be important. This is your total cost of living except for some small items you want each month.
If tavel is something you like it is even better with a friend. It is safer, less expensive and more enjoyable and if you live in a Senior Resort Community most have a package that allows you to travel to their other properties and stay free, eat the food free while you are there and take part in the festivities. It is hard to beat Free and that is because you are paying rent at the Senior Resort where you live.
Most adult children feel more secure if you are traveling with a friend. Your money will get you so much more if you try the apartment sharing with a friend. You might not drive and you might choose a friend that has a car and drives. You might even choose a person that is a little younger than you who doesn't mind doing things to help you.
How do you find friends if you are not a person who is out in the social circles. There are social networks that have workshops for meeting new like minded people. People that might want to travel and cut cost of living expenses.
You might use a professional service to help. It sounds weird to think about a dating site to find a friend as an apartment roommate, but it might be a way to find a person with the same likes and dislikes as you. You pick through a list of likes and dislikes at one of these sites. Questions get answered like do you smoke, drink, snor, keep the apartment clean and organized, do you like to travel and other questions that are important to you.
