New (and associated bond payments) or used (which may or may not still have bond payments to account for in your costs)? Do you have debt, beyond the mortgage which you will be maintaining? Health issues which may require medical care and those associated costs?
As to the parking lot incident to which you referred, I am unaware of any place that has zero crime or incidents. If this is truly a concern of yours, you may find it difficult to relocate anywhere. I find the Villages to be very safe compared to other areas in which I have lived,
By the by, the Villages is not a "gated" community. It IS a fun place to live and offers may opportunities-not all of which cost a thing to enjoy! |
Thank you for your lengthly and kind response. I'm not interested in a big fabulous house, been there done that. It was fun with a family but with two, just foolish. I'm more interested in,life, not that the house I live in.
For some answers, no debt. House is paid for. No health issues. Two cars no debt, we believe in cash not credit if avoidable. But although we have zero debt we wil still have a limited retirement income and looking to reduce not increase for things like golf.
Thank you for saying TV is not a gated community.
