There is a method I use to avoid being taken advantage of, and that is mainly trying to not utilize companies or businesses that would do so. Obviously, in The Villages, with Morse's hand in so many pots, it is difficult to completely avoid, but we try. Do you think I bought my furniture at overpriced Southern Lifestyles? No way, I saved a ton, and bought outside the Villages. I saved money on my mortgage by NOT getting it at Citizens bank. I paid off the bond to avoid paying the excessive interest rates. I purchase some groceries at Sam's and Walmarts . I do my best to support the POA, because I think they have our best interests at heart. If the conditions at the Villages golf courses are crummy, I just don't play golf here, I go outside The villages. If the IRS business escalates to the point where it is going to cost Villagers serious money, I will probably leave. That will be the last straw for me. Everyone has their own set of values and things that are important to them. The Morse's and their excessive greed do not represent my values and I have little respect for them. Sorry if that displeases some of you, but that is the way I see it, and there have been numerous threads on this issue in the past, with many others feeling the same way. We can go back and forth, and we all have our own opinions, which will not change, so I guess I'm done discussing this issue.
