Eileen claims that she want a low-maintenance home like Patio Villa resale not new. So she will have either no-bond or lower-bond (I had her read the postings explaining the bond). Her automobile is old and she will have only the minimum mandatory insurance on that; she has Medicare Insurance plus the extra on her retiree plan from work; and home insurance as necessary. Normal monthly household costs such as g&e, water, trash, etc. telephone but not internet or cable.

Unlike myself, Eileen is not a traveler so cruises and trips would not be an issue. She likes the idea of the rec centers for cards and games and, of course, the Town Squares to watch the dancers.

I suggested the Historic Side with the manufactured homes but she believes that there would be too much landscaping responsibilities for her liking. She also feels that there is more likelihood of needed repairs (grey pipes and such) than with a Patio Villa. She realizes that a Manufactured home would permit her to keep more of her savings because of the lower asking/selling price but it's not her thing.

After this posting, she has agreed to join TOTV and ask advice on her own but will continue to visit my home to use the internet. She claims she doesn't want or need the internet and won't use it in TV (yeah, sure!). Thanks again.
