No one on here can tell you if you can afford it. There are so many variables. I would encourage you to do a detailed budget of income and expenses when you both retire. There are ways to supplement your income here if needed. Look at all the expenses you will have and make your determination. A six month or one year lease may be a good idea. It will help you fine tune your expenses, get a feel for this place and weather, and see if you want to spend your senior years here. This place is not for everyone, but for many of us it is a perfect fit. Good luck on your adventure.
