The internet research she did before coming down here turned up most of this stuff. She had also read Leisureville. We discussed it at some length, and I did my best to debunk most of it. Apparently, I wasn't very successful.

One of the reasons she gave for doing the article was that they really don't have retirement communities in Germany, and certainly not on the scale of TV.

Like I say, we enjoyed her visit, and learned a lot about Germany. I think she also reports on American financial issues, in addition to American culture.
