Well Dressed Women, Vandals in The Villages and More

[@jmwhambone6223]

Great investment advice. It is never too soon to start saving for retirement. My favorite thing to tell people that ask me how I was able to retire early is to say “I paid my retirement account first and drove Fords or Chevys.”

[@mjt4651]

Stay grounded….”When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom”…God Bless

[@fehnbusinessconsultingllc9259]

I love when Linda "laugh cries" I am the same! Love you both and of course Gizmo :)

[@ronaldlewis4870]

Hey there, My understanding of "meal" labels has always been, Breakfast (first thing in the morning), Brunch ( around 9:30 - 11:00), Lunch (noon - around 2:00), Dinner ( around 3:00 - 4:30) and supper (around 5-7). Of course that's for day shifters. Love you guys! Thanks for the fun every week!

[@terryandvalerief]

Both of you are such a delight! I love Linda’s infectious smile, her hair AND Gizmo’s jokes! Don’t ever quit!!

[@TamiDunn]

That tree frog story was hilarious!

[@patriciagregg6665]

Moving to the Villages in 10 more days. So excited.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

See you when you get here! 😁😁

[@cherylmarshall6874]

Good luck Patricia !! Have a wonderful time

[@jocichon1230]

We called it supper and ate at 5pm with the evening news

[@terrywiggins1736]

Great show, I'm always impressed by the amount of work you guys do for these shows!! Growing up, my Dad always stressed you pay yourself first, always save 10% into a retirement fund. It helped that the government developed the 401K programs to assist, and that my company would match that savings 50 cents (later 60 cents) on the dollar. I'm a snowbird and I keep the house at 80° in the summer when I m gone, to keep the humidity at bay, sometimes even that isn't enough if we have a really hot summer which seems to be the case of late.

[@jerelwright1665]

I love you guys and I'm a real American all the best to n you both

[@carolynnkaster9457]

Ha ha about the toothbrush cover. I lived in Florida for 18 years, living outside Louisville, KY now. When I first moved to Florida, I lived in an adult condo complex. I was taking a walk after dinner one Sunday and thought I saw a curled up snake. I chucked a stone at it and it went " plunk". It was a small utility cover! Got a good laugh over that one!

[@kathyerikson637]

When we leave for the season in AZ we always put mineral oil in the traps so they don’t dry out and get smelly from the sewer

[@joyceb9502]

Lol lol lol - I was laughing right along with you two watching the blooper break 😂loved it - thank you for the laughs and for the great videos

Agreed, i'm in my 40's and LOVE this channel! I still have small kids and watch this religiously on Mon/Thur .... it's the strangest thing, but I'm hooked! And want to move to the villages!! :) Jerry and Linda, I sure hope to meet you in about 15 years!!

[@garyxyz4400]

Starting sooner than later is key to saving for retirement.

[@samharris272]

Linda, I had the same kind of experience that you did with the toothbrush holder. I was peeling a cucumber with a peeler, and one of the peelings got away from me onto the floor only I didn't know that. Later, I came back into the kitchen, turned on the light and there laid a long green worm on my floor. I don't see well (Macular degeneration). I ran and got the raid and sprayed the heck out of it. When trying to clean it up, I got my magnifying glass. I was surprised to see that it was a cucumber peeling lying in a pool of raid. I had a good laugh at myself! Loved your show!

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

😁😆😅🤣🤣🤣😅😆😁

[@garyxyz4400]

Happy Easter. You two are living the dream life enjoying every part. We also enjoy history as it shows different stages of life. Thanks for entertaining us with the happy times in retirement. We have been planning and looking forward to enjoy the freedom of retirement also. Might we be as happy as you.

[@juliesmith7682]

[@jamesclark5461]

Another great show. Best of fortune at the Senior Games Jerry.

[@tribbles2955]

My son’s romance with his future wife almost ended before it began over the dinner/supper divide. We’re from NewYork, dinner is in the evening; his wife is from Iowa, dinner is in the early afternoon. They met at college in Iowa. My son asked her out to dinner, she accepted and was ready at noon on the specified day when she was stood up by my son who wouldn’t arrive for several hours. They ironed things out, though, and will be married 25 years next month.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Great story! 😁😁

[@michaelcrowley1172]

Breakfast, lunch,and it wasn't called the last Dinner.lol,God bless.

[@theotherdonald8604]

South Texas -Breakfast is before 10am. Lunch is around noon, and supper is the evening meal. Dinner can be either lunch or supper but never breakfast. Dinner is typically identified by it being the heavier meal of the day.

[@shirleyharold1698]

You both have just great vlogs…informative and fun. Gizmo is such a good jokester

[@DelunaticDeb]

Here in SoCal we’ve always called it dinner, and hubby and I as retirees eat about 7:00 every night. But, that’s because we sleep late and eat breakfast and lunch late. Sometimes I eat breakfast so late I just have lunch instead, lol, and only eat two meals those days. My husband grew up in Michigan, then moved to Calif in 1974. His parents always said supper when they’d visit us, or we visited them. Just like they said pop, and we say soda. 😂

[@milantoombs6696]

I say dinner, grew up in FL, Dade City, but have lived in MA, Cape Cod, for 49 years. Time to go back, hopefully The Villages!

[@hosegooseman5]

That hot dog place it’s awesome and low cost. I always upgrade to the Nathan’s ones…Saludos !!! 😎

[@nf2885]

Hi Jerry and Linda. Loved your show today. So funny about Linda’s encounter with a tooth brush holder🤣. Good advise you gave to the young person who inquired about wanting to retire someday. It’s so true his time catches up with you. I look in the mirror and wonder, how did I get to be 66 already? It just can’t be😳. Have a blessed week. ❤️

[@sherrillbeaman2320]

Your show was so fun to watch. Thanks Randy and Sherrill

[@AnnMitt]

19:00 minute mark question was so important. Parents: teach your 20-ish year old kids how to open a broker account and invest in an Individual and Roth account. Research stocks and mutual funds. Then be consistent with buying shares. Dollar cost averaging will serve your kids well. And live a frugal life.

[@laurarahz12]

As always, great show, thanks for the monday morning fun!! The shows are never long enough if you ask me!!! Have a great week! Did the grandkids come for Camp Villages?

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

No, but they might in the future.

[@caroldawson5384]

Great catch, Linda.... 😁😁😁..Gizmo is such a cutie!

[@crispykritta]

It’s “supper time” for us here in NH. In fact, we watch your shows at our supper time on Mondays and Thursdays usually between 6:00-6:30. Loved your show today! ☀️ ⛳️ ❤️

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Thanks, Candice! 😁😁

[@kristenschnese698]

We eat supper 5:30-6:00 however when the hubby retires I hope to eat that supper meal earlier. Great show ! Years ago my husband’s friend moved to Windemire outside Orlando nice neighborhood he said the one disadvantage of a gated community is that when people come to visit it was hard to get them in the gate and at that time you could not give them the code and the guest punch themselves in the guest would have to calm the person and the person would have to come down and get them but it might have changed as technology has changed

[@ruthmarini8453]

Good morning. Very entertaining show today. Empathize with Linda, as I’m always trapping, squashing,etc things that turn out to be inanimate objects. Glad I’m not alone.

[@johntamulonis4626]

Hi Jerry and Linda, I loved the video as always. You two are so great, plus Gizmo! Mondays are better because of these. You all are so much fun.

Great advice about saving. BTW, He calls it "Supper", I call it "Dinner" we eat at about 7:30 every evening.

[@jimroschli9552]

Never wanted to be in trouble growing up, so I made sure I wasn't late for "supper".

[@samplemm]

Love you guys!! Your happiness is contagious!! 💖💫

[@yarnfanatic]

I call it Supper as my Dad was from Iowa.

[@ashleysmith6884]

I started retirement saving with my first pay cheque. Every pay rise I increased my pension savings. The second priority was my home, then the luxuries in life (vacations, the ODD meal out - in my later year’s when the kids had grown up). I don’t spend on designer clothes - i usually wear the T-Shirts given out at races I’ve competed in. Save the pennies they soon become pounds.. (or cents to dollars!).

[@antigonish63]

You'll be glad to know that Biden intends to cancel student debt, allowing you to pay the 1.7 trillion they owe. So much for retirement and luxuries.

[@franpalm5793]

Yes, definitely, save like mad when you’re younger. Yesterday, it’s seems like I was 40 today a blink of the eye I’m 80. 😱 Yikes

[@nursejulie]

🌞That was fun! I love mail bag Monday!😺😁

[@RGC198]

Hi Jerry and Linda, thanks for sharing an excellent video. I remember my retirement well. I retired from my workplace on June 12, 2009, which was also the same day that USA switched off all their main analogue TV channels. I hope my retirement didn't cause all that!!! LOL. Is the square very far from your place? gated communities seem to be quite rare here, though one of our neighbours has built his home with security fences surrounding it. Like you, we save our money and very rarely eat out. Wearing seat belts are mandatory in all cars here in Australia, though I am not sure about golf carts. We used to notice a musty smell at our previous home in Sydney, especially after returning from a trip away for a number of days. Fresh air circulation always fixed it up. Here at our current place in Melbourne, we don't seem to experience the problem. This may be caused by the cooler weather here, though I can't be certain of that. Love the story of Linda catching that "Ferrel" toothbrush saver!!! LOL. Anyway, take care. Robert.

[@d.l.n.7133]

Great video , better late than never viewing it ( it popped into my feed ) ! I miss Gizmo . I grew up with mini dachshunds and had a red one like Gizmo named Pudgy love the breed , l think they have extra personalities 🥰 it’s also amazing how you and Linda don’t age !!!

Glad you had a great Easter with your family. Enjoy your week.

[@janicecroissiert9116]

Great show, as always. Started watching a couple of months ago, and enjoy your shows. We eat dinner between 7 and 8, have wine on our balcony overlooking the lake just about every night before dinner, and dine out about 1-2 a week. I agree with you about saving $ as soon as you can. Happily retired in south Florida. ❤️. We are planning a lifestyle visit this Fall, and are looking forward to it. Hope to meet you guys.

Happy Easter 🐣 Great tree frog story. The loose meat sandwich at the Coney Island is delicious 😋

[@daledivine4625]

Wow, It was a great MBM as promised Jerry, Linda, and Gizzy. Ok, me being from the other end of Kentucky in the hills, we always had breakfast, dinner(lunch) and supper. My neighbors across the street usually eat their "supper" around 3PM. especially in snowbird season to get a table. Then they have a snack later. I live in a Court Yard Villa and our streets are private, so soliciting is actually illegal in here. I saw the mess that the Sandhill Cranes did to Sarasota. It got much worse. I heard they have seasons on them in Texas also. We have eaten at the hotdog shop also. Definitely a diamond in the rough..

[@wendygardener2316]

It is dinner for me, @ 7 PM. Had Palm Trees for many years when I lived in South Florida, never once saw a rat. But, my bird feeder did attract them once

[@JohnHoganN8]

Great show thank you! Yes! Those palm tree “droppings” look really heavy. I would not want to be a real vandal in The Villages with the number of retired heroes there! We try to avoid eating after 6pm and eat our main meal (dinner) at lunchtime or shortly after. It eliminates a lot of nasty stuff that can occur overnight in the digestive space. 🤣🤣

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

You are right John! There is a large number of retired military people here. Some of them you definitely would not want to mess with.

[@susanclark2756]

I knew there was something I forgot - what about using a dehumidifier? Growing up, we had one in our basement in upstate NY - had to be emptied every other day, but then the temperature wouldn't have to be kept so low. Not sure if they make them for a whole house - but I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

[@MsLorie-ef6fo]

Actually they do make them for homes, they're attached to the furnace blower. You can also buy a dehumidifier with a hose attachment so it drains directly into a sink or basin. Thus no need to manually empty every day.

[@mollyj409]

I'm still laughing over the "tree frog"🤣

[@deborahjones2045]

I was nervous the entire episode, just waiting for what creature Linda found. I had even thought that I may be so creeped out that perhaps I shouldn’t watch this episode. But I tried to be strong and continued to watch. So glad I did!! What a hilarious ending to that adventure 🤣🤣🤣 (Linda, I could see myself doing the exact same thing)

[@Mary-qg3sd]

Our community has what’s called controlled access. There’s a manned main-guard gate with two entrances, one for visitors who have to stop and one w/resident stickers who just go through. There’s a manned back gate for contractors. Then what’s called the golf gate, which is entered with a resident sticker on the right rear window. Cars without the resident sticker cannot enter that gate. Cameras are at the three gates. We also have what’s called ‘roving patrol’ until 2 am. We’re a community of about 40 individual associations, single family homes, and other gated communities within the gated community. The resident has to call before anyone (family or contractor) comes through the gates.

[@daledivine4625]

The Villages is so large there could never be one gate for contractors. There would be a line 3 miles long to get in here by the time the guard did all that calling.

[@Mary-qg3sd]

@@daledivine4625 yes, you’re right. The owner calls. The guard allows access. If owner doesn’t call, contractor nor visitor is allowed in. But you’re right, given the population of THe Villages, it might be impossible. About 2,000 homes where I live.
