    That’s why me and my husband retired in Arizona the homes here are practical prices and the weather is beautiful out here no humidity
  • @grgygantz6760
    All and all, I would never even consider moving here based on all the extra fees. thank you for posting all the fees and the report.
  • @louis20122
    I am so done with all wasteful fees: condo fees, HOAs, etc. I want a small piece of property in a safe and clean neighborhood and no fees whatsoever. Those fees include someone else's salaries that tell me what to do or not with my life which are crazy.
  • Thanks so much for the video. It reminded me how glad I am I left Florida when I became a widow back in 2020. I now own a home that is my home on land that is my land. It makes me so happy. Thanks again.
  • This is crazy. I just decided to subscribe to your channel because you both are real and speaking forth truth. That being said, Truth speaks volumes. I'm 69 and just sold our beautiful subdivision home that had so much of the fees that you described. Bought several acres in the Appalachians and working at eliminating the grid. Got a beautiful modular home (paid cash for home and acreage) that is built to the same hud standards of your patio home. You guys are doing everything that my wife and I are escaping from. But, your entertaining and very real. I would never do what you have done in particular to the ongoing world and US events. Yet, i support your channel and look forward to how you both will continue to be monthly charged and how you will handle economically price increases. May God give you both wisdom and incredible knowledge of handling life's events. The Villages truly are a recreational place. Our motto is "Live simple, be free" Blessings, Wayne
  • Great info. Thanks so much for breaking this down. Look forward to other similar videos in the future. 👍
  • @noreenn6976
    Thanks for sharing. You may be shocked how high your electric bill will go in the summer if you keep it at 65 inside.
  • @jimg1234
    Thanks for a very informative video, I appreciate the time you took to make this video.
  • @goofygirl1311
    Very helpful video! Your numbers are a bit higher than The Villages ballpark estimate but I suspect that would be the case with our numbers, too, if/when we bought there. You really broke things down nicely. Overall, I think you get a lot of bang for the buck living there.
  • @laurice8056
    By the time I’m retired I would rather own a mortgage free home with NO HOA fees and NO unreasonable HOA rules. Some of these HOA organizations have been known to foreclose on homeowners who fall behind in their HOA fees…despite being current on their mortgage payments!😱
  • @JonJughead
    Great idea on the spreadsheet, looking forward to it!
  • @yvette968
    Thank you for sharing this information. You both look so happy in your beautiful new home. ❤
  • The bottom line is always to do your own due diligence, no matter where you buy. At the Villages you are truly buying into a lifestyle. It sounds like a fun environment, thanks for keeping it real.
  • @willschmahl1240
    Great videos. Thank you for documenting everything.. ( so I will not be surprised "negatively"). We have been spending our winter evening watching The Villages video & your has been the most beneficial. The last thing I want to do is fall short financially. We will do a lifestyle visit this summer. Thanks for all your time... Will

    Hi guys, my wife and I moved in about the same time as you did. We are down in Lake Denham. I find that your numbers are about in line with what we have found to be accurate. Our gas and electric are comparative to yours but we have a slightly bigger home. When we moved in we figured the numbers were low so we adjusted them up about 35% and that is pretty close to what we are actually paying. Anyway, we love your channel, keep up the good work
  • This was incredibly informative! Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting this together!
  • @tamieemmer2795
    Great information, I'm trying to do a spreadsheet myself to see if my husband and I can afford living there....I was budgeting much less than your bills and we are looking to purchase a new designer home, Yikes!! We may have to rethink our price point. I'm surprised your taxes were so high! Thanks for all the updates!
