Easy. Get a degree that there is a demand for. My son is an aerospace engineer and at 31 is buying his second home in Denver. They cost a whole lot more in the Baker Hist. district than they do in the Villages.

More like his grandparents. He is 24, average/median Villager's age is what, 72ish?
That is three times his age.

Yep so he now says. He edited "his" post 45 minutes after he posted it which is clearly marked on his post.

He CLEARLY EDITED it 45 minutes after he posted. Look at his post where it says "edited."

He works remotely. Wages in a lot of states are higher than Florida's. He may have an inheritance, be a successful author, or whatever - it's not our business.

I am quiet, and old soul, respectful of others and always maintain a clean living space/ yard. What would be the honest reaction to having a young person live next door?

80/20 is a Federal Mandate to stop Housing Discrimination, The Villages can not deviate from that. There are under 55 people that have purchased homes in The Villages with out someone having to be 55. It’s your money, buy what and where you want. It’s not their money, so don’t listen to them. Live your own life!

Anyone with money can probably buy in villages, I highly doubt they will turn somebody that has the cash regardless of what age they are. Besides IMO it’s sales gimmick calling this place age restricted.

For me if I was single and 20 something this would be last place I would be living. Unless I was on ego trip beating up on gramps and granny on golf course, tennis/ pickleball courts.

I've slowly been hearing more of the music I listen to as time goes by. Not a lot of hard rock / metal being heard as I cruise around, except for me.

.......Yes, it is VERY unlikely that this ONE person is, for example, a drug dealer. I and we can NOT say that he ISN'T. But, "riddle me this" BAT-VILLAGERS........what if statistically 60 to 100 of these "NICE" 25 year-olds moves here. THEN, it is LIKELY that one IS a drug dealer or has some other bad habit. Yes, you might say that, "the samething APPLIES to any group of 55-year-olds. But, no it is NOT the same. For example, a 25 year-old drug dealer or gang member may have been identified as such and put into prison and the FBI would be watching them closely because of their record and why are they keen to be in an OLDER community. By age 55 many criminals may have moderated their behavior and noticed that drug members have a short life-span. Prison may have changed them for the better. To be continued.....

Compared to other areas of Florida, housing is less expensive.

We're in our mid/late 50's with two young adult sons (early 20's). When we move to TV I'm sure that our kids will visit from time to time and if they need to live with us for a period that is fine by me - we still have one in college. I'm pretty sure that they would be off working and doing things outside of TV, though, even if one or both lived with us.
