I know many people who live here comfortably and happily with much less monthly income than $4,800 a month. You didn’t say if you plan to rent or obtain a mortgage. Rent is not cheap here. Do a house search on thevillages.com and see what you can buy for under 200 thousand dollars. The mortgage would likely be less than rent. It’s always better to pay off all debt before you retire. Work long enough to pay off your truck and that money will go a long way toward a monthly mortgage. You’ll love it here and it’s possible to live very comfortably here on your income.
