Property taxes are a big concern for me, especially looking down the road 10 years. Illinois property taxes will eventually price the state out of the market for me. Wherever I end up in my golden years, cost of living, property taxes and snow free climate will be key factors. As far as the size of The Villages, I have lived in the Chicago area for 37 years, so dealing with traffic and crowds is nothing new for me. I can understand though, why some long-time Villagers may be less than happy with the expansion of TV, especially the growth/expansion in the past decade.

Value is the operative word. Is it worth it for some people? When my children were younger I moved into an area in Fairfax County VA that was way over my budget. I could afford the house but that was about it. I moved there because that particular area had an excellent school system. The sacrifices were worth it. Same with TV. There are less expensive places, but I know this is the best place to be. I would rather live in a modest house in TV than a larger one someplace else and I have talked with others who feel the same way. For us, we want to be out of the house and more active. Will this be our last house? I do not know. I do know this move is right at this time in our lives. Thursday cannot come soon enough. |

Things are as they are-perhaps not as they should be
Quote:
What do you need to have? All you need to know is exactly how long you and your wife will live. What your healthcare costs will be, what the rate of inflation will be for the rest of your life, what the return on your investments will be and we can calculate exactly what you must have. Immediate trouble is we do not know any of the needed information. The stock market only goes up-EXCEPT WHEN IT DOESN'T. Our government tells us they want 2% inflation-WHY? The reason is truly simple-so that they can devalue the real value of the TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS they are overdrawn, First of all IN HISTORY, they have never been able to control inflation that well. At 2% inflation. long term in about 30 years you will need two dollars to buy what a dollar buys today, |

I do not have specific data for The Villages, that is why I said I believe. That said I was part of that private sector who lost medical coverage and a large part of their pension after 34 years with no recourse. So please don’t attempt to educate me on private vs public sector unless of course the private sector is where your 40 plus years of work was spent. If so I’d be glad to swap notes with you. I think you might discover the private sector is in deep s””t if you care to look, no data needed.

The developers continue to purchase more land to build upon. They are smart and successful. I am with them. Come on down!
