You need at least $10-12,000 just to cover Village overheads, add transport, insurances, etc. and it would, to my mind, make it impossible on SS and few savings.
Mind you, some of the amounts that 'experts' quote to live reasonably well in retirement, are way over the top.
My wife and I have been retired for 28 years now, travelled the world, spent 25 of those winters in warmer climes, 20 in TV. and never had anywhere near the amounts some of the Guru's quoted.
It's how you cut your cloth!
