The question should be after you tally your position what type of income will permit you to have the lifestyle you want.
After you considered all normal annual expenses, taxes, food, HOA fees, cable, insurance, what is a decent income to cover that and still let you have a comfortable life here in The Villages?
Is it $100K, $200K
, more or somewhere in between, that is the real question.
I think INCOME of 100k, 200k or more, is way more than enough for the Villages. What do others think would be approximate normal annual expenses? This question excludes the extras that change people's lifestyles dramatically. So just as Cuervo said: taxes, food, amenity fees, TV/Internet, insurance (health, property, & vehicles), electricity, landscaping, house maintenance. Isn't it around 50, 55?
