Yet, The Villages is flooded with younger “boomers” (those of us born in the 1960s) like myself, who have retired way before full retirement age. Blechman predicted people of my age any younger would not want to live in age- segregated community when we retired. Looks like he missed the mark on that prediction. South of 44 has attracted a lot of younger boomers, and now lots of gen-x folks who are retiring way before the full SSI age of 67.
