NOTHING you can buy will make you happy. Too many people think that a new car, new home, new man/woman, new golf clubs, new TV, etc. is all they need to make them happy. Happiness, or contentment comes from within, not from without. The Villages is a great place to live, but it won't make you happy unless you are predisposed to be happy. I think mostly happy, well adjusted people move to TV because they like the activities, the people of their age and interests, and the beauty. If they were not happy before, I fear they are not likely to be happy here. The evironment of TV is condusive to an active, healthy, entertaining lifestyle, but not everyone will avail themselves of those benefits. I guess I would say that is a good thing as there is only room for about 110,000 residents more or less, and there is not room for all the people who live in this world.
