Hello, we just looked at the lifestyles portfolio video and are ready to move today. Problems are we are only 51 years old, have a mortage, job, etc. We do not make or have very much money, but love what we see. We need to make a plan for retirement. We currently live in central N.C. in a 4 bedroom house on 1.25 acres of land. Too much yard to mow. I would rather play golf. we make less than 50K annually.We would be interested in a small home with 2 bedrooms. Definently a pre-owened home. stick built or manufactored. Hence my questions.

1- What is the true cost of living at The Villages?
2- Is local employment available?
3- The portfolio shows $961.00/monthly for a $250,000.00 home. Not my price range, what about more like $100,000.00 range?
4- Are the prices in the stores competitive or inflated for convience?

Not trying to sound negative but if you can help with some real numbers then we can start developing a real retirement.

Thank you for your help.

PS- Is it really as good as it looks?
