Everyone is different. We keep tabs on our expenses every month and we live fairly well. Day in and day out for our no mtg Designer home on a golf course runs about $25,000 per year including everything, food, gas, utilities, lawn service, car and house insurance, taxes, etc. We take 2 overseas trips a year and at least 2 domestic trips a year which adds another $30,000.
So, with travel it's around $55,000 a year, without travel it's around $25,000 a year. We think that's amazingly inexpensive for a wonderful quality of life. We've been here 22 years and still love it, so glad we came early in our late 40s. Would do it again in a heartbeat. You'll love it here too.
