I have watched many people die too young and only enjoyed a few years of retirement.
My first visit to The Villages was in my 30's. I watched it grow. I made a plan and executed it.
$150/mth is not much for what you get, but there are some who just can't afford it.

I agree I've been here 18yrs. and have seen many friends who worked into their late 60's early 70's not get to enjoy retirement very long before passing.. but everyone has a different story.. I was lucky i retired at 49 working 30 yrs. in an auto factory.. I loved my job but hated the weather.. I lived in Syracuse for 49 long cold dreary years.. I couldn't wait to get to fla. I was just lucky to find TV and all there is to offer
