I get that you are well-heeled and planned well with a good income but picture living here with only $25,000-$35,000 before taxes in your pocket a year with no additional assets other than able to purchase a low end home here and a vehicle. It's pretty skimpy living and the cost of living in The Villages is not cheap as some would have you believe.

What bond on your taxes is not the house bond?
Property taxes have generally been steady or decreasing over the last five years. On the other hand, school taxes have more than covered that in their increases.
The bond on the home will eventually be paid off.
It makes sense to ask why someone would want to live here if their income was that limited. Who knows, someone who is doing it might have a good answer to that.
