I sincerely doubt you will ultimately be happy in TV or anywhere that is not your home town.
I know that you rejected Redwitch's advice, but I think it was well intentioned. Based on your many comments in previous threads, you seem to have a lot of questions, fears and concerns about The Villages. And probably rightly so .... buying a home in The Villages is a huge decision!

I just have one point to make. Unless I was 100% confident that buying in The Villages was the right choice for me, I would definitely rent for a year. That way you could see if TV is truly a good fit, and whether you have too many regrets about leaving family and friends back home.
