"I read the book cover to cover in 2 days. I ordered the book then signed up for the retirement courses. Retiring and relocation can be stressful. This candid book helps see the reality of Americas Friendliest Hometown. A large community has the same pros and cons as any other city. I think the activities and clubs are what make The Villages special. The book..." Read more

"We're seriously interested in retiring in Florida in the next year or so. Your book has helped answer several questions and made us aware of the several fees, bonds, cdd add ons, etc. We're attracted to The Villages for the many activities, live music , classes and sports. Just not sure if it's worth all of the extra taxes and fees."

"Very informative, gives a true look at the day to day living. His capture of the “true cost of living” was on point and and encouraged ways to personalize the cost to the individual. I will certainly contact Ryan for guidance in real estate agents when my time comes. “Two years and counting down”!"
