My suggestion would be to figure out how much you get on ss and minus out your expenses. There are also lots of part time jobs in The Villages and surrounding area's for extra money.. Buying a house would be great, but, I would suggest buying something with NO BOND.Owning a home would be better than renting. Getting a three bedroom house and renting one of the rooms is another option, there is always snow birds looking for a place to stay...
Good luck...
