Second, if you say moved to The Villages in your 40's and had a child under 19 living with you, you would not be allowed to move into The Villages.

A college age person certainly would be welcome here for the summer or even full-time. They would be at least 19.
No they wouldn't. All three of my children started college at 17-18. Their first summer off, they were still 18. If I had them come stay with me, they would have to leave after 30 days because they are still under 19. This is more common than you think. We held off buying the first year my son was in school for this very reason. He lived in Tampa 9 months, with us the other.
Finally, a teacher or many other fortunate professions are able to retire at 55 or earlier based on how frugal they are.
