Yes, the Villages is a great place to live if you own your own home with no mortgage and own your own car. If you own your home somewhere else and can buy a home with cash here, and let's get real, you can still buy a home here for under $200,000 in an established area and it will be a good home, not a "dream" home, but a nice home. The monthly expenses here are very low compared to most areas up north or out west. If you have no savings you aren't going to be living like a king back home, and you won't be here, but your day in day out living will be much much better here, more things to do and more value for your money at the grocery store and in general if you know where and how to shop. I've actually been able to save money every month here which I've used for travel. The Villages is a great place to live.
