Listing all your expenses is a waste of time, everything will be different based on where you live.
For example, if you move in the newer section, you will have over a $50,000 bond, where if you buy a used home up north it might be $10k or paid off. 1 more thing about bonds, you will never pay off the full amount. My bond is $34,000, and if I pay it off, I would still have to pay $600 each year until I die or sell the house.
Car insurance, home insurance will vary greatly depending if you drive a $20,000 Toyota or a $200,000 Porsche. Same goes for house, you buy a premier home, it will be substantially more than a villa. This same goes for property taxes.
As for gas in your cars, does your car get 15 mpg or 30? Do you drive 3000 miles a year or 20,000? Are You going to have 2 cars and 1 golf cart?
TV streaming, internet, entertainment costs, food, most things, will be similar to what you pay now. If you go on 2 cruises a year, costs won’t change except you can drive now to the port. You can live anywhere in the country and still pay the same price for YouTube tv.
The big difference here is you don’t pay income tax, but not knowing your current situation, that might not matter and you might live in a state that you don’t pay income tax now.
There are many cost of living calculators online that will compare your cost of living in your current city/state to the villages. This will give you what you want without all the details
