Princesspat,
Welcome to TOTV! The key is coming up with a budget you can afford and sticking with it. So much of our spending in retirement years is discretionary.
You'll almost certainly spend a good bit less on gas, auto maintenance and clothing compared to your working years. If you ate out for lunch everyday during work, you might be able to eat out less-- if you want to.
As a snowbird, you'll probably spend more on household maintenance. You will need someone to tend your yard and house watch while you're away.
One wonderful thing about TV is that a lot of entertainment is packaged into the $137 amenities fee. If you don't want to spend a great deal more than that on entertainment-- you won't have to want for fun things to do.
If it's doable on paper, stick to the plan and you'll be fine.
Please keep us posted on your progress.
