Based on my research if you have no mortgage, you can live as cheaply in TV as you can in almost any other place, and cheaper than many, especially near either coast. As has been stated, social security payments can vary widely, if you both collect near the maximum, you could live very well, if toward the minimum you had better count on at least some part-time work. Because of all the activities available with no or low cost, I think this is an outstanding choice of destination for someone with moderate income, giving them the ability to do things that would be difficult, if not impossible in most places. For example where else could you afford to belong to even one country club, much less ten, enjoy live entertainment every evening, and play executive golf every day for free?
