Unhappy Is $750.00 enough

I've already looked at the Nuts and Bolts but, am asaking for real world numbers. Assuming living in one of the mobile home, (cheaper taxes, and no bond), not having to pay golfcart path fees, and having no house payment can one personb live comfortable on $750.00 and month?

THIS question was asked recently by another person and received a couple of answers.

IMHO..... according to my calculations as a single person, I think it could cost approximately $1,000 per month to live comfortably in TV, and that's with NO mtg. PLUS - the additional costs of personal luxuries like...... eating out, buying nice clothing, traveling; and don't forget about the emergencies for home/health/auto, ETC. etc. People tend to forget those "extras" which make life worth living

P. S. I'm a wannabee - but this is always a good question and difficult to answer because everyone's lifestyle is different!

LT - That is a tough question to answer as there are still many variables. Let me ask you this, have you considered long term rental therefore keeping your money more liquid? You would still have the advantages of TV's lifestyle without having to make a major investment and then later find that it was the wrong investment. I am just thinking that once you factor in food, utilities, insurance and amenity fees you might find yourself very tight each month.
