I just got an AARP Membership Registration in the mail. Is there any appreciable benfit to joining? What do think, if you’re a member?
I think you can get some discounts and stuff. My mom actually became a member at the ripe old age of 47 because her husband turned 50 and spouses are, apparently, automatically included. We find that highly amusing.
My father signed me up on my 50th birthday—I’m now 62 and still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
The AARP makes it possible to receive certain discounts, but not on anything I want to buy or on anywhere I want to go. Their mail order pharmacy used to be okay, as are some of their insurance programs.
I still don’t know if membership is worth it, but it doesn’t cost much, so I keep it.
