If you live in The Villages then the odds are I you did pretty well in life. Further you probably saw the very expensive house up North and probably paid cash for the house year so you really do need a lot to live on and your Social Security probably pays most of what you really need so whatever Capital you really have just don't take a cruise every 3 months and you should do fine. If you can't afford to live the way you're living now it's really simple move 2 North Florida buy a $100,000 house and you're still has several hundred thousand Capital to live off of. Or have generous children like I do
