"Living the Dream" ..... yep, pretty close to it. I thought retirement would be to a warm climate and staying active. Combine those two basic requirements with all that the Villages has to offer and I couldn't have designed a better retirement solution for myself. Now, with 2 new knees, I plan to play as hard as I can for as long as I can and this environment is certainly conducive to that. The other major bonus is the golf cart accessibility/travel we have here. Coming from the DC area, with its legendary traffic, it is so relaxing to be able to hop in the golf cart any time of te day and be off on one's travels or errands and not worry about traffic. It's not perfect, but, pretty darn close for me. As others have said, this is one of the happiest times of my life. "healthy, wealthy, and wise" ... good health, comfortable finances, and still have all my marbles.

I'm not sure how to answer this question. I came to Florida in 1969 and lived in a small town. I could have retired in that town but there were no activities to speak of. And yet I felt like I was too young to be living among retired people. So I had no idea what I wanted, no well defined dream. Then when my house sold I had to make a decision quickly and I decided to take a chance on The Villages. So, here I am and I'm old now, just like everyone else.
I'm healthy, secure and content; I suppose you could say that's my dream, and there's still room to include more, whatever that may be. |
