I guess it all depends on where you live now and what home you are moving from-too. We moved from Georgia and our county was very senior friendly (no schooltaxes). Seniors also get a BIG break on income taxes. Eating out, food etc are about equal. Golf is much less expensive in TV, even at the CC's. Our biggest saving came from moving from a 5000 sq ft home with large yard to aCYV. Electric, water and yard maintenance are about one third. Moving from and older home with high yearly maintenance to a new home makes for a savings too. Enjoy TV...there is a place for it to work on any budget.
