Thanks everyone!
OK, first waist = waste...it wouldn’t be me without a misspelling.
Thanks to all of you good TV people; you’re all more helpful than a financial advisor!
I dislike a post that begins, “...so what do you pay for...” and I’m very glad you are all so amenable and that I can get some sound advice here.
I’d really like to answer each post individually but will not in an effort to keep it simple...but I‘m thinking of you.
We didn’t take the tour when we visited in 2008 which I believe was a mistake, so we plan on doing so in the summer of 2011.
It was my wife who actually “discovered” TV and brought it to my attention and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since.
It seems that we would be interested in a courtyard villa, pre-loved (I like that) is fine with us. My wife would like to access things via golf cart as she is a non-driver so that will be a factor, however, we have learned that you can virtually get everywhere with only a short interval in traffic.
As I’ve said we haven’t gotten the complete layout of TV so we're in the blind just now.
Our common charges for our condo here in NYC include many of the things listed separately in the pdf under “the cost of living in TV” on the Website i.e. sewage, trash, water etc so I think that threw me a bit. I do see average taxes of $240 but this is on a $250,000 home. Our taxes on a small one bedroom are a little over $2000 a year, car insurance $1000 so it will only be health insurance that could crimp the budget.
I’ll be “lurking” at Nuts and Bolts; seems like someone has really done a great deal of very helpful work.
Thanks again for your time...I’d leave today if I could.
