    This is my life in Vietnam and love it! Breakfast and cleaning daily. New sheets every other day and no maintenance issues. 🎊 Great video!!
  • @fallguy747
    As an airline pilot I spend a lot of time in hotels. Believe me, after a month or two you will go out of your mind.
  • Been watching for approximately 4-5 months. I also watch about half a dozen other channels for ideas & information. We’re out of here(Colorado)in about 6-9 months, once I hit 30 years of service @ UPS & get my full pension. This may sound completely off-topic, but my absolute favorite thing about you two is that you don’t interrupt or talk-over each other! I pay close attention to very minor, seemingly unimportant issues…just ask my lovely wife!😊
  • @TomMarvan
    4:22 Chains to choose - Hyatt: US, Mexico, Canada. IHG: SE Asia. Marriott: Oddball (Norway, Cambodia, Indonesia). Great video thank you!
  • @user-sz8ng7oj8s
    I looked into the same thing and found a 90 day stay in a hotel with breakfast included, free wifi, free bottled water, swimming pool and lots more benefits for less than £1500 for the 3 months.
  • @MarcP5267
    My uncle does this when going to Florida for 3 - 4 months a year. He rather stay in a hotel / motel because he doesn’t have to clean etc. He has elite status with a chain.
  • @sjdone
    I read years ago about a couple who retired to hotel life using their senior discount. Anytime they want a change they just move to another hotel in another town. This gives them the ability to live anywhere they want for a while. I love the idea.
  • I'm a travel and tourism promoter specializing in getting people traveling who haven't yet seen the world and am thrilled you are doing this! Thank you!🎉
  • @ck4426
    I love how you’re being really specific, and really transparent and really encouraging in your videos over the past couple of months. We all out here really appreciate it!!!
  • People are going outside of what has been deemed to be the norm for so long...and I'm here for it! I'm looking forward to beginning my digital nomad life soon.❤
  • @BH-sn7ws
    I wish I was younger, this is a great thing to do! Congratulations on figuring everything out and sharing the info! A lot of people would keep all of this to themselves even though it doesn’t cost them anything to share! 😊❤️
  • We had sold our home in 2005 and had purchased a new build townhome. Our builder was having financial problems and we did not close on our new townhome for 11 months. We lived in a two Bed two Bath plus small kitchenette at a Marriott Extended Stay along with our dog for eleven months. We worked out a monthly charge which included, meals, internet, house cleaning, insurance, phone, refuse disposal, gas, electric,office, workout room, indoor outdoor pool, parking, transportation to air port, etc. We had the time of our lives. It was so inexpensive in the long run, because you have one charge that covers EVERYTHING. Plus you can’t believe the points we accumulated for future travel.
  • @ronnyb9416
    We buy IHG points when they have a 100% free or 50% off. My wife and I will both buy the full amount allowed whenever it is offered. IHG is almost everywhere, and if you stay at Holiday Inn Express (nothing fancy), you get free breakfast and they have laundry machines for your use. Also get the IHG credit card for the sign on points and the free hotel room gift every renewal. Plus they are very generous with giving you points on your spend. For example, x5 points per dollar spent at gas stations. Plus by getting this card you will be IHG Platinum. We have been retired for 16 years (age 47) and traveling around all the time in the States and recently one month in Asia. IHG is the way to go.
  • I said this when the terrible nursing home was going to charge me ( after medicare) 291.00 a day!!!! My mother passed but we laughed about her staying at the grand hotel here! Cheaper and yup! Lots of perks!!!
  • 😂 Gasp! I'm already planning to sell all my stuff and travel full time thx to your vids. I sold the house in January & I bought the 500k IHG points and spent a month in a Holiday Inn Express and now yall done threw in a new idea that I need to consider!!! I ❤ you guys! ❤😂🎉 Sounds like I need to add Hyatt w/ IHG. 😊 Thx. God bless you for sharing these! 🏆
  • @FoodieVacations
    So glad y’all are living your best life in full time travel… y’all deserve it. You have helped so many people and are such a sweet couple. ❤
  • @MarleneGreen
    I've replayed the first 3 minutes of this video several times! Totally sold on "Retiring to a Hotel" when you run down all the savings and perks. Priceless!
  • @morrowcleveland
    Love it! I got the IHG card, per your recommendation. I bought points per your recommendation. I already booked our Christmas trip in Mexico with points. As I map out retirement for my husband and I (in 2027), I'm planning for how we achieve 40, 60, 80+ nights as we travel across the country. Then in 2028 we will go global and maximize using the milestone rewards. Thank you for continuing to teach us! 🙂
  • @123gorainy
    Brilliant idea! I would think that another big advantage of your Hotel Stay strategy is... laundromat in hotel, concierge help, and a doorman to screen visitors. Great planning, have a great trip!
  • You guys produce the most useful content by far. Praying I can start implementing some of these tips this year.
