THE global cost of living crisis is continuing to bite, hard enough that many are still turning cruise ships into their new address.

A couple from Colorado recently sold all their possessions to set up their new life aboard Villa Via Residences.

Randy, 66, and Kit, 71, said they believe their new lifestyle would be cheaper than the cost of living in London for a year, British online publisher LADbible reported.

“We had designed and built a house that was our dream home…I expected to die there, but fate clearly had a different plan for us,” Randy said.

He added, in a rather bleak admission: “I’m not coming off that ship alive.”
