If they cannot sell at current price levels they will build accordingly to the market.

My wife and I are closing on our new home in Lake Denham this Friday (and closing on our house here in TN the following Friday), and we both plan to continue working.
I work remotely from home, so I can setup my office anywhere. My wife retires from teaching in the state of Georgia at the end of the school year and is hoping to find a position in one of the charter elementary or middle schools.
We look forward to being able to work AND enjoy the active lifestyle.

Oh, and yes, we are well behaved….except on the Pickleball courts. ������

My kids have zero interest in TV lifestyle. Their generation thinks different from us.

I don't know your friend, but given the choice, I'd bet on the developer knowing what they are doing.

I never thought I'd buy in TV either...

Yet, here I am...

Needed? The following generations are just as big and getting bigger...

Afforded? That is yet to be determined...

I am surprised that more 60+ haven't moved here while WFH (Working from Home) in the technology age. TV with Orlando airport very close, WFH with a few quarterly trips back to the mother ship would make the transition easier and able to determine if one really likes the lifestyle while still being able to afford to move with an income. . .

However, I am sure that I am actually totally ignorant as when we are down, and we have been working from home, we didn't leave home much to meet many other people who may be WFH and living the TV lifestyle..

I wish I could have done that, but my practice does not lend itself to Telemedicine...

But, on the positive side, I've sold my practice and my contract requires me to continue working for only one more year, with a VERY liberal vacation policy (pretty much what I've been doing the last 3 years)...

Put a how-to on YouTube. You may rake in a tremendous amount of money. From what I've seen, people will attempt ANYTHING. Foot surgery can't be that complicated, right?

35 years ago when Mr. Schwartz made that statement a million dollars had a different relative value than what it has today. Then, a million dollars was 10x the value of your home and 100x the cost of a car. Today, a million dollars is 3x or 2x or even less the value of your home, and a new car 8-10x is not uncommon.

To have a million dollars today is not uncommon nor hard to accomplish with a little planning, self control, and some even moderately wise investment. I would not consider someone “rich” who has a million dollars, more a prudent planner who prepared for their future retirement. Being a millionaire means having a net worth of over a million dollars, if you would you working life home that you lived in for 20 or 30 years and invested it in your retirement home you’re likely half way there, a 401K or IRA with another 500K can easily support a moderate lifestyle for many years to come, you’re a millionaire.
