Gracie, you are correct we have lived in many, many places. We have learned enough to know where and how we want to live. I might not have lived in TV but have visited it enough times to know it is not for us.

Finally we are NOT the "Lifestyle and Activities" type so why we should we pay more and not use those amenities? As you know, I am too deaf to enjoy any of the entertainment TV has to offer.

So why even ask the question if The Villages isn't for you?

One has to question your motives at this point, you've made over 500 post on a site dedicated to and on topics related to a place you don't want to live, Why? Your profile states you are a "now bored retiree", so one must then conclude that your goal must now be to make others as miserable as you appear to be. I've met and know no one who has moved to The Villages that has embraced what is to offer here who is a "now bored retiree". In fact most are so busy that if you ask them something simple like "can you do lunch on (pick a day)" they have to pull out their smart phone and check their schedule.

Is The Villages perfect and for everyone? No, not even close, no place is or will ever be. For most of us living here it is a great place to live with great weather and so much to do that we look forward to each day of our retirement. As for I, I've lived here over 4 years now but only retired just over 2 months ago, I now look at my schedule and am glad I'm no longer working as there's no place left in my schedule for it.

I truly hope you find what you're looking for in life and retirements, if The Villages doesn't meet you wants and needs then please move on.
