We are also about 5 years from retirement. Saw a lot we loved on the golf course which has been my husband dream forever, so we got and it and built a home on it. We became 2 of the 20%. We are lucky to be able to fly out and spend 4-7 days a month enjoying the TV life. It is our get away home. We look forward for 3 weeks a month to the "vacation" in FL. We made lots of friends and we love it. I lost a dear friend the day we closed. It made me realize that we just don't know what will be in 5 years so we are enjoying it now. My kids (1 still in college) just joined us for a few days and loved our new home and the fun that comes with being in the Villages.
Good luck with whatever decision you go with.
