Three Things 2026 Dick Would Tell 2011 Dick

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

I shared a client asked me how long I lived in The Villages, my answer 15 years.  They asked a question that has been on my mind the past three days, what would 2026 Dick tell 2011 Dick about living in The Villages, Florida.  I finally decided on three points I would tell 2011 Dick.

Friendships, it is so easy to make friends, neighbors, golfers or just going to the squares or clubs.  Nobody is from here so most people will make friends quickly and if you are like me you keep those friends for a long time.

Health, take care of yourself so you can enjoy this place longer.  That is why we shared the Blue Zone Inspired series.  Regular checkups, watch your intake of both food and adult beverages of choice and remember this place will be here tomorrow.

Location, find an area that has your lifestyle choices close by.  Look at where your favorite activities are located.  You don’t want to drive 15 miles to where your lifestyle is but you will be finding new lifestyle choices once you move here.
