I've been reviewing posts on how much it cost in TV. To me it's really just a little more than it would cost to live anywhere. Especially if you currently own a house. The amenity fee of $135 is low. The other costs of home ownership is the same or less in TV. I get the feeling that people concerned of the cost are current non home owners. I can't blame them. However, if you can afford $1,500 plus the cost of the mortgage and the bond you're fine.
All other costs will be the same as anywhere else you plan to live in retirement.
Federal taxes are the same. Medical costs I'm sure will be the same in FL as it would be anywhere else. The same for Food , clothes, entertainment...
Don't be scared, you can do it!
