Now that we've been here for 7 years, things are better because we've adapted. Unfortunately, a lot of my neighbors now are in the 70's and are experiencing health problems. We talk a LOT about illnesses, doctors appts, prescriptions. Anyway, you'll adapt. Everyone is very nice.
As for jobs - good luck. The pay here is less than 1/2 of what I made in Texas. And unfortunately the cost of living is about the same.
Unfortunately when you move to an over 55 community you will find people who are over 55 who don't like to read that you were "dismayed" about their foibles.
