Is it really cheaper to live in The Villages or Fl in general? From the little I have been able to glean, there seems to be really no great monetary advantage, so why move there?
Thank you so very much for your time/efforts/comments and advice!!!!!

I’m a native Californian who moved here full time in Nov 2022 after my husband retired. We came with Calif equity and bought a spacious home with cash. Our cost of living here is so much less than California. For me the only downsides are humidity and missing our 3 adult kids and 2 y/o grandson. Thankfully they visit us, and we can go out there for visits anytime we want. We would never live there again unless the kids moved us back to put us in a senior home, lol. Hopefully at 71 we have a bit more time ahead of us to enjoy The Villages. Oh, and we would never have moved to FL if The Villages didn’t exist. We moved here for The Villages lifestyle, not the FL lifestyle.
