On a medium size home, 1800 square feet, figure about $1000 a month over and above your mortgage payment. That would include lawn mowing, weeding, cable, internet, gas and electric, water, garbage, amenity fee, termite and bug control, and a few other miscellaneous costs. Bigger home, maybe $1200, smaller home maybe $800. Put that in your budget and you will be close. Add food, clothing, entertainment and medical and you should be plus or minus 5% of what you need to live in The Villages.
