looks very interesting, but I need your knowledge!
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 moved to The Villages from Temecula, CA. I researched warm weather retirement places like TX, AZ, etc. There is NO other place like The Villages to retire! If you are active, you will never be bored. Your only problem will be choosing what to do and where to go due to so many choices- every sport, every hobby, every club you can imagine! Temecula was dry heat, which I prefer. I literally wear ice around my neck in the summer here to survive. And I pretty much stay inside. Many people do sports in the summer here. I would have a heat stroke! But, I grew up in NY so heat beats cold anytime in my opinion. The Villages is
also great for people who lose a spouse or are single. You will never be alone, because there are groups for everything. Stay here for a week to check it out. I decided I decided to move here the second day I was here!
