Excuse the typing, a injured hand...thanks.

TRUE cost of living for a couple multiply the above figure times 5. House, automobile, recreational, medical, insurance, food, taxes and incidental expenses will quickly mount up so if your not prepared, your life will consist of mounting debt, worry & stress.
The developer calls this " cost of living ", should be " cost of house ". Very, very misleading. Please do your math very carefully. I am not being negative, simply practical. Nobody, anywhere in this country can honestly claim cost of living at 13K per year.
Also, see below as advertised by The Villages

from approximately $97 to $448 per month. Lake County millage rates
