Can TV, as we know it, remain the same or will we become just a housing project? I know the Morse family have incredible vision for the future, but will the very character of TV be lost in the growth?

Interested in your opinion.

We learned in psychology 101 that the more rats there are in a cage, the more chaotic it becomes.

At first the thought of an under 60 group put me off but after some consideration I came to appreciate how beneficial it could be for many reasons. Great idea!

Whenever we step inside a restaurant and see a large crowd waiting for tables, we leave.

Yes if you can afford the tickets to the playgrounds.

Keeps the kids out and away from the fun people?

I refuse to wait anytime or anyplace to give a person or business my money--

When we buy our cars-we never set foot in the dealership-its part of the deal, this way we are not subject to the hassle of dealing with boloney peddlers

I sneeked into one of those under 60 meetings. They must have figured some of us might try so every time the person at the mic wanted to just talk to the real members he lowered the volume of his mic. drat!

40K houses x 1.7 heads per house equals 68K people. Do you really believe that the next generations don't have 68K people that will be able to afford this place? You can plug whatever number you want but the required number to fill houses here is minuscule to the populations of the millennials and those that follow. As long as the State continues to be the retirement draw, I think TV will continue to be successful.

You can tell I'm over sixty. I posted my response in the wrong thread. I was coming back to move it. Now that I learned what conflation is, and that it has nothing to do with digestion, I think I conflated two threads.

The big change is for the people who have been here since the beginning. We have only been here for a couple of years so everything we are seeing is not really much of a change. The people who are buying now have never known anything else. The Villages just keeps evolving. Things that remain the same eventually become stagnant.

Ha ha, sounds like you are discombobulated.

HOWEVER...a summary paragraph inside this article says this;

"The survey findings don’t necessarily indicate that millennials are better at saving than baby boomers, or that they have more money saved up than their parents’ generation. Boomers are actually much more likely than millennials to have at least six months’ worth of savings (38 percent vs. 23 percent). Yet more millennials than boomers have some emergency savings."

Exactly!
