If, I recall if you choose to take social security at 62 compared to 65, it is about 30% less for life. Increases are also a percentage of what you are getting.
Medical insurance will cost you about 12,000 for two people until you reach 65.
We all need to decide, how much do I need to have saved to??????
All you need to know is exactly when you will die, exactly when your wife or? will die. Rate of inflation for the next 40 years or so. Rate of inflation for medical care. Investment returns for the next 40 years. Money you plan or do not plan on leaving for your heirs. WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT WILL DO-NOT THIS YEAR BUT OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS.
OH AND ALL THE THINGS I'M SURE I DID NOT MENTION-THEN YOU CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU CAN AND SHOULD DO.
I missed where he said he was going to start collecting SS at 62, he just said that he was retiring at that age.

None of us know how long we will live, but having a rock-solid pension that covers all living/recreation costs, with substantial savings/investments as an additional buffer and then SS as a sweetener, allows some of us the peace of mind to know that even if we make it to 100 years old our lifestyle will not be in jeopardy.

Actually, me and the misses were planning to jump off the top of the water tower at Turtle Mound when the money runs out in 10 years

We will be selling this winter. It's a Bridgeport that was expanded in the back the front and up. Has a pool with a very large cage. It is in Virginia Trace which I guess everyone knows were that is. It is a nice floor plan and yes the kitchen is large. Very large master and dinning room.Four feet added on that and the original lanai. Garage was added two feet and has a eight foot door. Had a pickup with a tall cap when we built it in 2005. I think the foot print of the house is around 3000 square feet but with the pool and the cage that pretty much doubles it. Moving back to the ocean nothing against TV.

I agree traffic lights would help along Hillsborough and Pinellas. Before we moved down here, I looked at Google maps a lot and noticed three cars backed up on Warnock trying to turn left on Hillsborough. We also saw several cars at the intersection of Pinellas and Charlotte, so it looked like that would be a tough intersection as well.

That is why we are renting in Osceola Hills. The pools are inside our neighborhood and, since there is a roundabout where Deskin enters Morse, it is easy to go either north or south on Morse.

I guess we can all decide what is important to us. We just do not like turning left onto a 4-lane road without a traffic light or roundabout to help us.
Three car backup is a problem?

Not in our village. Two came up for sale in last few months, sold in two days and one week for much more than was paid for them.

For those who are turning 55 now (or anyone born in 1959 or later) the full SS age is 67. We've run into the trailing edge of the baby boomer, many of whom don't believe they will ever see SS. I would imagine anyone retiring at 62 or below has a solid investment portfolio and is looking at SS as pin money.

I retired at 40. I'll start collecting my SS at 67.

Yes, especially when there are other areas that do not have that problem.

I have experienced longer waits at traffic lights back in Urbana. It’s not an issue for me although I am still a snow bird having spent only two winters at our house in Lake Deaton.

I do believe that the sun angle is a little better in Lake Deaton.

There are still a number of contractors/handymen/landscapers etc. traveling around villages south of 466A. Don't you think eventually this will "slow a bit" and traffic around this area will not be quite the same? That is not to say there will not be some traffic in a community as large as TV.

There will always be real estate for sale in a retirement community. A house will sell for whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Sometimes it sells a bit above market and sometimes a bit below depending a lot on "presentation" and, of course, current supply and demand.

Mostly now as a hobby, I too keep an eye on the real estate market in TV. Occasionaly there are opportunities but rarely is there "a steal" or a "super bargain" in TV. The Developer has done a fantastic job of marketing this place and when you buy here you are buying into a lifestyle more than just buying a house as we did prior to retirement.

Price? Is the house on a view lot? Please send me a PM if you prefer. Thanks.
Have you selected a destination yet? I'd like to move close to the ocean but Fireboy won't hear of it.
He loves his RC Flyers Clubs and free golf for life.

Yes, of course we play golf free at over 30 Executive courses when we walk.
If you're referring to the monthly Amenity Fee, we paid that fee before we started golfing.
I believe that fee includes many activities, maintenance of common grounds, pickle ball, all swimming pools,
baseball, tennis, dog parks, etc. IMHO, a great bargain.
