Yes, I did kind of make that assumption. If a person can afford 2 homes then Florida starts to make more sense. But, with the global warming taking place, today Florida has HOT summers for about 5 or 6 months - not like summer in Buffalo, NY which would be for 3 or 4 months. The good things about the Villages are the MANY activities and they can be shared with people basically the same age (retired).
........I personally played some sports this morning (it was sweaty HOT, even my socks were wet) (my eyelids were sweating). But, now there is nothing to do outside so I am inside until about 7 pm when it cools enough to go outside and do some things in the yard. So, I am typing and warning you that The Villages is not All, La Land, and Rainbows. There are downsides. Many people have recommended renting for several months in different areas, that is good advice. I have just taken it a step further and recommended Crossville Tn (a retirement center near there). Also, a good combination would be The Villages for 6 months in the winter and 6 months in the summer in a place like Crossville, Tn or further north like Wi. With 2 homes, there are many good options. Just avoid Fl. in the summer.
