Going to have to sell

[Garywt]

That is it, my amenities fee went up again, this time $1.46. How are we expected to do this. My monthly bill is now $188.53 including trash, what is one to do…

We do get so much for this fee. Happy to pay it and we will never sell.

[manaboutown]

I too am sold on not selling!

[Bay Kid]

It is all funny money...that buys us great happiness...!

If, I knew you would read stuff like DAVES like rather than BUFFET LIKE. For now there is more demand than supply and money is cheap and loosing value.

I read the OP as an attempt at humor. Humor does not work well in e-mails or one line typical posts.

I get the sarcasm, but what do you describe as amenity fees? Trash, water, sewer, irrigation are utilities on my bill.

If your bill is $188 for all, you are getting a bargain. If it is only for amenities, you are getting hosed.

Water, sewer and irrigation are billed by usage and are separate line items...

They are NOT amenity fees... Even IF they are an the same bill... But you knew that, right?

It is a joke, not whiny, did you read the entire post.

Water and sewer is on a separate bill and we do not get billed separately for irrigation either.

Water, sewer, sanitation are line items on the VCDD in Lake Deaton area

So....what's your point?

[Ele201]

Because the government is printing too much of it! If, I knew you would read stuff like DAVES like rather than BUFFET LIKE. For now there is more demand than supply and money is cheap and loosing value.

That’s right this place sucks I’m moving north anybody going with me I didn’t think so!������

I hear you! We moved out of TV in April of 2019 but not because of amenities, because we wanted to be nearer our children. We were paying $165. a month but I felt we got our monies worth. As TV gets bigger the maintenance gets bigger & the older things get the faster things wear out. Most complaints I heard was TV is getting to big, not that amenities went up. I think you’re going to see a lot of things going up in prices as time goes on. Actually I loved TV!

You probably live north of 466.

And who says money can’t buy us happiness? We’re spending it like there’s no tomorrow….

Our monthly hoa fee for PA house is going up $23 Jan 1st (and no golf, no pools, no rec ctrs.).

So, we ‘have’ sold and will finally be full time in TV happily paying our amenity fees (and no more long drives back and forth… well ...just one more).

And yes, I knew you were being sarcastic. 😉

[TNLAKEPANDA]

There should be a different fee level for anyone who ops out of golfing 🏌️*♀️. That is one of the largest expenses for the Villages.
Not everyone will agree but it’s MY opinion.

[Garywt]

So....what's your point?

My point is to make a joke but I did not realize so many people don’t have a sense of humor.

[jimhurtt@twc.com]

Yes. I laugh everytime I pay my bills.

[westernrider75]

Wow ours is $250 including water, sewer, garbage and amenity fee!

[Catalina36]

Household water
Irrigation water
Sewer

I don't get it :doh:

Literalism is alive and well on TOTV!:icon_wink:

Ah, yes, we often find ourselves these days in The Land of the Literal.

I think texts and emails and posts, in general, have become such a big part of people’s lives that we are missing a lot. Without facial expressions or body language, communication is hindered. Dry humor has always been lost on some, but now more people (in real life too) seem to go around loaded for bear.

There have always been people who are like that — always ready to take umbrage. There is a very old expression, “That person goes around with his ass on his shoulder.” (I just think there are more such types though than when I first heard that description — a really long time ago.)

We called and the Amenity fee is tied to the consumer price index. When it goes up or down the Amenity fees change. This is evaluated once a year. When looking at the index over the past 10 years it does go up and down (slightly) but the trend is up so plan on increased Amenity fees for the time you are here in the Villages.

try and not pay for trash when you go away for a month.. what a joke this place is. it's like "legalized" theft

I would never not pay. We average 4-5 weeks a year but pay all our monthly bills. Our bill from LSSA is just amenities and trash though.
