I try not to expose my wifey to the B.S. about these big issues. I'm sure she could handle it better than most of us but come on give up the dark cloud over our heads already. Live this beautiful life we've been granted. She had a lifetime of worrying about our kids and now the grandchildren. I think I'll let her take the responsibility for worrying about the flowers being planted year-round, you know the way it's been since forever in The Villages. Who knows how much time we all have left on this earth, I'm not going through the fourth quarter of life worrying about NUTTIN HONEY!

P.S. I see we have a new dark cloud posting since I've been online last. Welcome, get all the negativity out. It is a great place to live once you get past the initial crying period you seem to be going through. No names cause it's against the rules.

LOL!!!! I love your perspective!

just update your future annual spending budgets and see what changes you have to make.

could be 2 less dinners out each month, which is doable, unless you don't go out for dinner at all. .

oh well, you can always move to other similar retirement locations. .

Agreed. Just try to keep a good attitude. We can't fix things we have no control over.

I just hope there are no major hurricanes this year. We tend to talk about how they affect our budget. Can you imagine what it's like to lose everything and have your entire community flattened?

Unimaginable, for sure. My daughter's pictures of Hurricane Michael in the FL panhandle several years ago were jaw dropping as there was nothing left. . literally. .

There should be a major hurricane this year given the water temperatures, lets just hope that it doesn't hit FL, or if it does not around TV. . .

We bought our house in 2019, furnished it in July, and then over Labor day weekend, there was a hurricane with a path right over TV for like 3 days while we are up here in NE/MA working. . . On Friday before, the electricity went out and I was freaking out that the hurricane isn't even at the Bahamas yet, and we have lost our electricity! And there were no steering currents visible for those days which would push the hurricane away. . . welcome to FL!

I expect the house walls to be fine, its the roof shingles about which I worry, shingles disappearing sucks. .
