How would YOU describe a typical Villager?
 

Whoops. describe.

Interested to know what others think of all of us, generally.

Glad to be retired and here. Quite happy with almost everything. This is the people I have met in person in the Villages since June 2005.

My older brother visits about every 6 months and always says how happy and stress free the Villagers he meets here are. He is coming in from the DC area so it is quite a comparison.

Like the area being well maintained, enjoy dinning out most every day, the people, the price of golf.

In a good place

I would say very easy going. 95% of the time.

I think a typical Villager is 60 and started out with much less money than they now have. I would say that many have worked more than eight hours a day and more than five days a week and have gone without to buy a home in a good school district for their kids. They have met a serious health issue and lived through it.

I think many could not afford college and that many were raised going to church or practicing their faith.

Miss Gracie, you just described me to a tee.

Happy, optimistic, grateful, active.

White, Republican, Anti-progressive, stuck in their past and currently starring in a bad episode of the Lawrence Welk Show.

Hmm. Your post told us plenty. Junior.:angel:

I kind of hope their is no "typical" Villager. I like all our differences, quirks, etc...

I'm with you Mudder ......... there is no typical Villager. Once you get off TOTV and get out in the great wide world people are very different!

Amen, Mudder! I have found interesting people here from all kinds of backgrounds with all kinds of stories to tell. It's a wonderful place to be when you can connect with open-minded people...

A typical Villager is one who came from a modest to poor family background, they worked hard, sacrificed, gave up instant gratification for their future, took advantage of opportunities and saved for retirement and finally is real pleased to be living in The Villages. Now, that is not to say there are some atypical residents in The Villages too. In many ways, our diverse backgrounds, occupations and interests is what makes this a truly great place to live.

I can only speak for myself and my TV friends.
