Who spends their time looking up at ROOFS is right ! And "stingy" ? Seniors shop for places in Florida with the lowest HOA or amenity fees. This is definitely the place for those who can't afford the expensive exclusive places, or the the $300 and UP monthly fees, so the idea that people trying to make their last years decently comfortable by shopping for the best value for "extras", and allow them to meet all their basics, is objectionable to someone ? Oh dear, that's sure how those in our family were raised, came from a home where when you LEFT a room, you turned the lights out, when you brushed your teeth you turned on the water when you were ready to rinse your mouth, NOT when you entered the bathroom to get the toothpaste, the brush, etc. Were NOT allowed to leave the door open if the AC or heat was on, etc.etc. So being "stingy" (or perhaps "WISE" ?) when spending money on non essentials is not something I was taught to be ashamed of !
