That does not mean we don't have friends of all ages, but hoped to find our peer group here. Living with people who have finished their careers and raising their children and who have lived at least five decades is comfortable and nice for me.

Please don't yell at me. That is how I feel.
I am very much in agreement with this post. But, just this week I became aware of a situation which gave me concern ........... an acquaintance of ours has moved to extended living; the son lives in TV and has taken over their home and put "his" son into this property. This is a young man, is no where near retirement age, likes to play loud music at night, and the list goes on...................... It's early days yet, and things may return to normal, but knowing this could happen bothers me.
