I realize alot of you sold property and moved down here with no mortgages on your backs but, we couldn't do that. We have a mortgage here but, I am talking about the over the top fees for everything. The monthly fee for golf is $150, trail fees, mandatory garbage fees at $55 a month (whether you have garbage picked up or not! If you own property, you pay it!), the internet for $96 a year, Progress Energy, which is the most $$ utility company I have ever had to deal with...on and on. I am young enough that I am able to work (I am 51) and I have to hold down 3 jobs to keep food on the table here.
Before people buy here, they need to research the fees. If I would have known that this place was so costly, I never would have moved here!  |
Hi ArabianHorse,
I do think some of your figures are off a bit. Nonetheless, I am saddened for anyone who does not like his/her circumstances.
If you don't really take advantage of the lifestyle in TV, I wonder if you might prefer living somewhere else. If you need to keep the jobs you have, there probably is reasonably priced farmland nearby, where you could also keep your horse, or just reasonably priced homes nearby, since you have free boarding for your horse.
Are there other reasons you do not like living here? It seems a shame to work so hard to live here, and then be disappointed and dissatisfied.
I wish you happier times!
