We also moved here for the socialization factor alone. We looked at many other retirement communities and felt like we would be going there to die. The minute we stepped foot in TV we knew we were coming here to live.

Yes, financial stress in retirement affects many. I watched my mother and other family members go through it. I also watched them spend money unnecessarily during their working years and living beyond their means. They all regretted it and said they should have saved more for the retirement years. It was a valuable lesson for me and decided I would not live the golden years stressed out, due to finances.
