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!!!!!

Is it cheaper to live in the Villages? It depends on where you are living now. If you live in a small town in the south or Midwest, the Villages may be more expensive. If you live in the northeast, the Villages is cheaper.
What are your property taxes?
How much do you pay in state and local income tax?
How much do you pay for energy each month?
The only negative is that summers are hot. California has better weather than Florida.
I suggest coming out for a lifestyle visit so that you can see it for yourself. I wouldn’t move to a new state - a huge decision - based on what people say on TOTV.
