For whatever reason, in the past several months I've been getting junk mail addressed to my father. We don't have the same last name and he's never lived at my house. A while back, I got something from a local nursing home. I saved it and brought it over to him and told him I'd been shopping around.
He wasn't amused. -

Yeah, as Razor said you can join at 50..started getting letters and mail from them when I was 48 or 49....somewhere around there.....when I turned 50 I joined and they also put my wife down as a member even though she was not yet 50.....I think it's a good organization and am somewhat involved with them....so if anyone is ready to turn 50 I would ask that you join and support the AARP......

AARP was formerly named the American Association of Retired Persons.....it's now just called AARP because you don't have to be retired to become a member....it is a non profit organization for people aged 50 and over which provide a wide range of benefits for it's members, however it is also one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the U.S.....they are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all as we age...... -

Yes, there is a yearly fee or dues but it is nominal.....12.50 for a year or 21.00 for 2 years on up......The old age pension you refer to here is called Social Security that you pay into all your working life.....you can start drawing it as early as age 62 but you have to take a reduced amount.....others may choose to take it at 65 or older depending on their work status and financial stability etc..... -

Hey, save some of that Social Security $$ for me
. Although I've been contributing to it (as has every working person in the US), I think the chances of it being solvent when I'm eligble to start drawing from it in 20 years are fairly low. If it were treated as an Enterprise Fund (and the citizens' contributions were left alone), it would stand a better chance of survival.

Hey Schro at least you only have about 20 some odd years to wait!
