I would expect that if you are living in the Villages, you are very close to living the American Dream or have achieved it.
I just looked at the Villages website. There are more than 40 new homes listed under $300,000 and the cheapest was $219,500.
And you get the same amenities - golf, pickleball, swimming pools, clubs - if you live in a $219,000 home or a $2,000,000 home.
A $219,000 home dies not seem that extravagant.
However, about 20% of American households have a net worth of about $18,000 so to them, this must seem like the impossible dream.
