Default It sounds as if TV is just as affordable as anywhere else

While I don't live there,(yet) it sounds as if normal living costs are the same, and that $36,000 a year would be sufficient. Of course, a lot has to do with what you want to spend you money on. If you want to eat out every meal, or take a lot of trips, it would cost more, but just as before you were retired, you can pick and choose.

It also seems that there is so much to do in TV that is free due to your amenities payment, that you could conceivably live the "Life of Reilly" with very little money outside of normal expenses.
