If you need to work after moving to The Villages, maybe it is not such a good idea to move to The Villages and you should either stay working where you are or move to a less expensive place than The Villages.
I do not plan on working to pay my mortgage as I own a designer home which is paid for, 2 cars and 2 golf carts but I am not old enough to collect anything and it has been almost 3 years that I have lived in The Villages. I would love to have my nails polished more often and when you want to go to the movies, out to eat, have a few cocktails at the square, etc. have a housekeeper and nothing is coming in but only going out...it goes fast so I would just like something to cover my "fun"...when I turn 62 I do not plan on working as that should be enough to cover my "Villages fun"...by the way it is very inexpensive to live here and especially what you get for your money !!!
