We retired first in Calif. for eight years and were 72 and 73 when we moved to the Villages. Live in the new area and not a problem with the age as long as you are active in meeting people. We belong to several clubs, golf, bocce, pickleball, etc. Our kids (5) have a hard time keeping up with us. Just returned from CALIF. where hubby hit the slopes in Tahoe with daughter. He is 76 now so guess it must be the Village water. I really wanted to join but have a knee replacemant. Health issues will slow you down but you can still get out and enjoy the sun, groups, entertainment, etc. without a problem. Always try to have a positive mental attitude and you will never feel left out.
