On the other hand, I say if you have the money and desire to continue to live "big," you think you can't live without all of the square footage, big yard , large garage, workshop or whatever you once had, then go for it. Buy as big as you can afford. But, if you are smart, your next move (to the Villages) will take into consideration that you are entering the "winter" of your years.

There is a reason for not having steps, elevation levels or second story additions to these homes - and, that reason is the purpose for which they were/are built. Don't let your age and your years of experience go "south" when considering the type or size of home you will need in the "winter" of your ensuring years.

LIFE HAPPENS!!!!!!

Yes... a Ranch is what it is all about IMHO!
