Factoring peace of mind into your budget

Wouldn’t it be nice to know that there’s a place where your nest egg is 100% protected?

There is such a place. It’s called Wind Crest.

"Wind Crest remains a solid and stable place to invest in your future," says Wind Crest Director of Sales and Marketing Jason Atwell.

Solid structure
By now, most people have heard about Wind Crest’s unique 100% refundable entrance deposit. "But what they might not know is how well protected their money is with us," says Atwell.

"At Wind Crest, your entrance deposit covers construction costs, so there’s no long-term debt to get in the way of a refund," Atwell explains. Unlike money that’s tied up in banks or the stock market, your investment remains unaffected by market conditions. "Living at Wind Crest is a secure way to protect what you have."

Beyond that, monthly service packages allow residents to choose to pay for only the services they want.

"Our basic packages include just about everything except phone service—including cable and utilities," says Atwell. And since monthly service packages remain constant throughout the year, residents don’t have to deal with fluctuating energy costs.

"Here, you don’t have to worry that your gas bill will shoot through the roof," says Atwell.

For Wind Crest residents Ed and Joan Wagner, having one set monthly payment makes budgeting a breeze. "It’s nice knowing almost to the penny how much our monthly utilities and other costs will be," says Mr. Wagner.

Cost control
Some might expect this kind of convenience to come at a cost, but many Wind Crest residents have found that the opposite is true.

"We’re saving around $1,000 a month living here," says Jim Murphy.

Barbara Neil agrees: "I’m spending less per month now than I did as a homeowner."

Wind Crest residents can even cut their fuel costs by taking free daily shuttles to local malls, shopping centers, and grocery stores.

Most impressive, perhaps, is the money they save on home maintenance, updates, and repairs.

"Our residents never worry about broken furnaces and roof replacements, because we take care of all that," says Atwell. "If your dishwasher breaks or your dryer goes up in smoke, we fix or replace it free, just like all the included appliances and systems in your home."

It’s good to know there’s still a carefree life out there, where you don’t have to worry about your nest egg.

"Our financial structure sets us apart," Atwell says. "One couple recently hesitated about coming here only to return days later. After sleeping on it, they came back and said they’d rather have their money at Wind Crest than risk it elsewhere."
