To the editor:
The Aldeano Terrance Gordon made some legitimate factors in his latest essay, “residents who can now not afford within the villages should go to an inexpensive group.”
I noticed that many readers criticized their piece, however right here is my story.
My husband and I purchased a home within the 1990s within the villages. We had been excited. We love our neighbors, we cherished golf and thought we had discovered paradise.
However then medical challenges got here. We stopped enjoying golf and we did not go to the pool. We solely went to an occasional social on the close by recreation heart.
On the identical time, we start to comprehend that our funds couldn’t take us via our remaining years if we stay within the villages. We determined to promote our home and return to the north the place we’d have household help. It was not a straightforward determination.
We have now a small nice achieve in our home. We discovered a senior condominium that was inside our price range. Then I misplaced my husband.
Everybody’s scenario is exclusive. It was painful to depart the villages, however I am glad I had made the choice we made after we made it.
