How about this, I would vote to end Social Security tomorrow, would it change your "lifestyle?" Would you be concerned if that was a true possibilty?
IN 25 years.

This place is SUPPOSED to be for the 55+ . So for 55 year olds they would be 80 and for 60 year olds they would be 85 and for 65 year olds they would be 90.

And for the sake of discussion. What is your opinion of the average age of folks here in The Villages?

And NO ONE can guarantee anything. Who would think just ten years ago that our homes in other parts of the country would be devalued?

I don't understand the intent of your saying " If I would vote to end Social Security tomorrow, would it change your lifestyle". I am not sure what you mean by that.

You or me cannot influence whether this place will change in the next quarter century. This is a CDD form of government. We have absolutely NO input...so why get your knickers in a hitch? If the Morses would sell out and shut it all down... we would be living here in the middle of Florida with no free golf, no nice rec centers, but with the sunshine and MOSTLY nice people.

There are NO guarantees to ANYTHING.

So why worry. Live this day. But always save some money.

And HOW OLD are you????

OH now I remember who you are. You are the person who works at one of the nearby schools and whose son graduated from the charter school last year.
