I was 68 and Sweetie was 66 when we purchased our home in Hadley two years ago. Now we are in our 30's and have to use contraception.

Gracie.....you are a hoot!!!!

IMO, when one moves to TV, age and social/financial status just doesn't exist here. In this wonderland, there seems to be such an abundance of social equality in all fazes of life in that everyone is young at heart and equally enjoying life to the fullest.

Retired and loving it. After eight years here as snowbirds, we've become frogs this past year....barb 'n bill

This old fogey (headed for 75) is so happy so many kids are moving in. Now all I have to do is find two or three couples who'll take care of me in my "old age!"

Gracie is too young to take on such a responsibility. I'll wait until she's over 40!

Count hubby and I to invite you over to Buttonwood. Of course you have to wait till our house is built. Unless we have neighbors bring their lawn chairs over to our lot for a social gathering. look for us on Bachman Path.

Thank you for responding to my question. It seems to me that most of you are in the same age range as my husband and me, except for Graciegirl who is getting younger and younger. I think that is true that you are as old as you feel. My husband is 62 and I will be 53. Sometimes I feel like I am 35.

My husband was just called an old man from a kid and I mean kid I am saying a man like 30 years old. That shook him up a little. He asked me, "Do I really look like an old man?". Well, to him you might look like an old man, I responded. At 62, you're still quite young and just about eligible for social security but not the full amount.

Hopefully, we will be living in the Villages. It does sound like a friendly and a fun place to live. I want to grow younger and younger like Graciegirl too.

My wife and I put a deposit on a lot in St. James two weeks ago and plan to become full-time residents in Sept. of 2011. I am 64 and my wife is 57.

You will find all ages here. Only one person on the deed needs to be 55 or older. The youngest you can be (I've not met one of these yet) I believe is 19. My DH and are are in our mid-60's but on our street it goes from 50's to 80's and everyone is very well and active. Perhaps someone in Sales and Marketing with T.V. would have a demographic for you.

Well, we're hoping to grow younger like Graciegirl. Right now and when we move down in two weeks, I'm 63 and my wife is 55. We're hoping in a year or two I'll be 55 or less and she will be 47 or less.

Gracie - where do you get the Fountain of Youth Water?
