Is there any chance that there are jobs in the area that would provide benefits? Doesn't need to pay a lot, decent pay and mainly the benefits?
Any type of industrial employment down there?
Any ideas?

My suggestion is if you have a good job continue on as long as viable.
I visited the villages 10 years ago and bought a patio villa. I wasn't ready to retire but felt it was a great business opportunity. (Baby Boomer demand and finite land availability). I subsequently put the house on the rental program and managed to rent nearly every month.
When I was ready to retire I had a home in the Villages . After living in the villa for a month, we decided to sell and buy a larger home. In THREE days the house was sold.
Since I bought 10 years ago the squares have tripled (Lake Sumter & Brownwood) and the community has enjoyed robust growth.
