Where do I start.
No debt, Self employed, current income pays for current Lifestyle = $100K+

Retirement income = Soc Sec plus 3% Safe Withdrawl Rate on savings
Expected retirement income ~ $50K/yr

Is TV affordable on $50-60K/yr?
Using TV cost of 1100/mo expense to own, without a mortgage?

Does anyone know of an appropriate retirement calculator?
Has anyone designed an Excel spreadsheet they are willing to share?

Thank you

TFHutch:

There is a basic cost of living icon on www.thevillages.com web site that you can estimate costs.

Another is to read the "Nuts and Bolts: section to see an exact breakdown of costs.

I would tend to think you can live comfortably on 50K a year in TV.

I hope this helps.
