![]() ![]() Let me see: Would I rather hear that I made a great decision to retire in The Villages or fall into the depressed small group that find fault with everything. I agree with the premise that no place is perfect, but I disagree with dumping on what so many thousands of people have invested the golden years of their life, that being The Villages. My point is some folks will find fault with Heaven itself if they make it there, but when you find fault with so much the journey becomes for difficult to go up rather than down. Do yourself a favor and look for the best and not the worst in things. Last edited by Moderator; 12-02-2012 at 04:49 PM. Reason: Moderator edited: removed comment directed at poster. |

We have to move back North to be closer to family because of my husband's failing health. We will pay more for a smaller place; taxes are much higher; utilities have to be higher especially in the Winter and I'm sure our condo fee will be a lot more than our Villages amenity fee. We have been here for 14 years and found The Villages very reasonable especially with all of the amenities. We hate to leave!!

I was just thinking this yesterday as we drove past some other retirement communities. About 100,000 people have decided to make the Villages their final home town. What percentage of them can be wrong?

There will ALWAYS be a certain percentage of discontented people in ANY group. I don't care if they got a house for free "they" would find fault with it and complain.
I started coming on here to gain a perspective of what living in TV would be like. Yes, I think most people that post here love TV. Because of that I have gotten a better understanding of what I might expect when I visit soon. But no matter what, we will have to make our own decision and live with it. If we end up saying that we made a mistake (doubt it) then we either accept it or move. Thanks to all who have provided us with input - good and bad! Don't worry, I will still be asking more questions.

Anyway, after visiting earlier this fall, I've pretty much decided that there are plenty of very happy people in TV that I'd like to call them my friends and neighbors. Now it's just a matter of selling my home up north.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE Gone is the city, gone the day, Yet still the story and the meaning stay: Once where a prophet in the palm shade basked A traveler chanced at noon to rest his miles. "What sort of people may they be," he asked, "In this proud city on the plains o'erspread?" "Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?" "What sort?" the packman scowled; "why, knaves and fools." "You'll find the people here the same," the wise man said. Another stranger in the dusk drew near, And pausing, cried, "What sort of people here In your bright city where yon towers arise?" "Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?" "What sort?" the pilgrim smiled, "Good, true and wise." "You'll find the people here the same," The wise man said. ... by Edwin Markham
