Re: I CAN afford it
I just posted the following on another discussion but wanted to paste it to this one also. I hope that's OK because I still learning how this all works.
Hello Everyone,
I back on the "borrowed" computer and I want all of you to know that I have ready EVERY response to my question about affordability in The Villages. I cannot reply to each and everyone but believe me I have very grateful for your advice. I will sign up for the visitors program and take a look at the historic side and the newer sides for resales on both. I'm sure the manufactured homes are lovely but I just cannot accept that being alone I want the extra outside maintenance costs, insurance costs, and repair and upkeep expenses. If I were part of a couple I would be more self-confident about it but for now I think patios would be better for me. Knowing that I can purchase for cash a patio up to about 150,000 and with everyone telling me that my 2000/month would cover everything else makes me comfortable. I would be able to keep my savings (50000) available for emergencies and as one person stated I could consider a reverse mortgage eventually. But, the 2000 a month was my BIGGEST concern and you have cleared that up for me. If I were younger, I would consider a parttime job but those days are past. Thanks everyone for helping me.
