Even before you retire, if you are single or just a small family it is far far cheaper and far far better to live in a Holyday Inn than an Apartment building. First they will give you monthly rate instead of daily rate which is half. Then you have no deposit. You interact with hotel staffs who treat you like God instead of a landlord who treat you like slave. You need not clean the room or bed. Officially you occupy a small area though, your bedroom and bath, but you have the whole Hotel facility and area to share, you can also visit the city parks and libraries.
