Over the many years I have lived in TV and been a member of this forum, I have seen quite a few posts about the excitement felt by those who are newly retired and now calling The Villages their new home town. It is a great place to live and I never imagined I would find such a wonderful community to call home.
What I was wondering was what exactly many mean when the say they are living their dream. Is it being retired, is it living in a warm climate, is it a combination of both? Coming from a warm climate, that was never something I had to look forward to. San Diego does have pretty nice weather almost all year...
. Being retired has it's very good points, that's for sure, but some might find that over time, they may want something more.
What exactly was your dream, are you living it, are you content? In all honesty, I never really had "dreams" about retiring, it was just the normal progression of life as it moved along. Oh, I'm thrilled we're retired....and so is the alarm clock....lol.
