The US census taken a few years ago had the median age at 68. It may be a little higher now although of course most of the new people moving to TV are younger than that.

Yes---thank-you for the link

I want to keep this video. It's not on Youtube. I do not have a DVR.

Has anyone tried saving the video in their computer or knows how? I see there is some software that may work but unless I am sure it is malware free I don't experiment. I have Windows 8.

I showed it to my boss at work today. He knows my last day is August 31, 2015 and we move to our home in TV full time the next week.

He was impressed.

Default Saved it on my DVR

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the report on The Villages. I have saved it on my DVR, so I can replay it every day this winter when the snow is falling...

That one particular show started our move to TV.

We just sat down and out of all the channels to chose, I turned the Golf Channel on and there was the show. We have a lot on a golf course in Bella Vista, AR and had already picked out our retirement home plans for there. The wife looked at me after the show and said "let's go visit there".

Now, we're the type to research everything to the nth degree, have a myriad of conversation's about it and then maybe, just maybe, move forward with it. I went to work the next day and about mid-morning, she called and said "we have reservations down there".

And so, the journey began. We made the trip and the wife cried like a baby when we had to leave; she said she has never felt as safe as TV made her feel. So, after about 2 months of looking at homes on thevillages.com, we purchased a home in St. James and will close on it later this month.
