In the rest of the country I might agree with that statement but we all know that The Villages is different than any other place. One only has to look at the long lines at Home Goods, Bed Bath and Beyond and the full restaurants every night to know that we all have a whole lot of disposable income.

How true! The "average" 60 year old has a higher disposable income than the "average" 25 year old. It seems that after a certain age, some businesses are not interested in marketing to a more mature audience.
