How big of a part has TV played in you having satisfaction in your retirement years? Had you just as soon to continue working if you could not live in TV? Thanks, Fun
I am enjoying this post. We live in Wisconsin and have somewhere between 4-6 years before retirement. My wife has three relatives that now live in TV and keep inviting us to take a look at it. Next year we plan to do a tour (wife turns 55) and check it all out.
While on a bike ride today (beautiful day for Wisconsin today) we talked about how we could enjoy biking year round if we retired in The Villages. I agree with the other posters, just to get away from the shoveling, cold, long dark nights, and really about sux or seven months of cold would be worth it to me to retire down there. It's good to read what others have to say. So, hope some day to be down there but just have to get to that retirement age. Does't hurt to do some dreaming in the mean time.
