[QUOTE=Guzzel;2378924]The wife and I are considering TV for retirement in 2 years; so not looking for an exact figure, but assuming no house payment, was wondering what the average cost of living might be in TV.
Understand everyone's situation and lifestyle is different, but really wanted to get ballpark figures for things like, Utilities; Internet; Insurance; Amenity Fee (still $195/month?); Entertainment; Groceries; Other monthly expenses.
Again, not looking for exact costs, just trying to work up the reasonable monthly costs based on the knowledge base and experience of present "Villagers".
It will change as you go thru retirement, usually 3 stages, the go go years, the slow go years and the no go years
As you age, you will probably travel less, and spend more time at home
In my opinion you will find a lack of fine dining here in TV, as compared to Sarasota, so if you dine out regularly, you will save money here
Don’t forget to add in the cost of a golf cart, but owning one is not a necessity,
You can live frugally here, your in north central florida, your not in a coastal community like fort lauderdale where everything is much more expensive
