I wonder what they consider "affluent."? Although we are not poor and think we can swing a half-way decent lifestyle at TV, I would not consider myself affluent. Will I be over my head down there?
As I see it, you should be fine. We are far from "affluent", but we are comfortable. I think we're well educated, but that definition is somewhat subjective. Can we afford to eat out everyday...no; can we afford to play the championship courses everyday...no; can we afford to go to all the shows at the Savannah Center...no; and the list goes on. There are many things we cannot afford, but that's ok. We do what we can...we eat out, we see some shows, we play the championship courses. We just don't do as much as some others. There is still more to do here than we can possibly do and much of it is for very little or no cost. There is definitely something here for everyone. Not everyone has to budget...we do.

Come on down...you'll love it!

Now....if I can just hit the lottery......
