You are right that not every one can afford to live alone but there are far less expensive options and the approximately 145 dollar a month amenity fee is not an expense added to small homes or apartments outside of The Villages.


Moving in with someone you don't know to me is asking for trouble. We are more opinionated, set in our ways, and irritable as we age. When you move in with someone you move in with their ways of taking care of the space, with their personal hygiene and their health, all things that could quickly become large issues. Add friends and family visitors, pets, and using one kitchen and things could quickly change and folks could get on each other's nerves. I am just being realistic. Plus I watch Judge Judy.


Moving in with someone you have known for a while, or someone who is a family member is not without challenges, but moving in with a complete stranger is just not a choice anyone should be encouraged to make.


Ungracious? No. Not politically correct, probably.

Leisha2, I see several posts of yours trying to rent a rental you own here in TV. Have you rented your home to two people who have not previously known each other? Wouldn't you be a little nervous about doing so?
