Nope. It depends on a lot of variables. If you and your spouse make the maximum then you would gross $10K per month. Assuming no other income then you would net about $9000 a month (taxes and Medicare deducted). Yes, you could live on that. That is an outlier but the bottom line is "it depends".

The header to the post is: "Is Social Security Enough to Live in The Villages?" That would be asking for advice. Either way, my advice is no. Easy peasy.[/QUOTE]
