Most everything is more expensive in TV. A hamburger in 5 guys at Brownwood is $12.00, that's without cheese, fries, and drink.

From cars to contractors everything is more expensive here.

The Championship golf courses keep going up, amenities are up,car insurance is up, golf cart insurance is up, house insurance is up, landscaping is up, gas is pushing $4.00 again and food is more money in TV.

There is nothing cheap about TV and everyone thinks you are filthy rich if you live in the Villages.

One reason is there are enough people to pay these exorbitant prices and keep the cash cow feed.
Also, you only have your income so not impossible but can be a challenge.

It's not exactly Beverley Hills but it isn’t cheap here and you might want to trust your instincts financially.

If you can afford to live here it is a wonderful place to live outside the cost to live here, but I guess you get nothing for nothing.

Good Luck.
