Village_Gal,

We are in similiar situations. I am not in the Villages either but stuck for the time being. I am definitely a wannabee/gonnabee. I got to visit briefly last spring for maybe half an afternoon. That was such a tease for me. I am afraid that if I came down for a lifestyle visit, I would never leave.

Like you, even before I ever stepped foot in the Villages, I knew that the Villages is where I want to be at the first opportunity. I am single but currently stuck as I have an elderly mother that would have a complete meltdown if I tried to move her.

I go online and look at real estate every day. I cannot swing two mortgages but I dream and dream and dream. Sigh. Some day.

I can take my job with me so if I can get down to the Villages before I can retire, I still have means to make a living.

In the meantime, I hang out online reading all about life in Villages.
