Am I Really Getting That OLD???
« on: August 24, 2008, 08:19:51 PM »
That was my first thought this past week when I got a personalized invitation to join AARP. And here I thought 40's were the new 30's (or something like that).  I cannot figure out how they got my name or why they would solicit me.  Anyone else had a similar expericence?.......If I didn't feel old before, I sure do now. :/O

Your birthdate must be recorded incorrectly somewhere.  I think you can join AARP at 55, so they probably think you're ten years older than you are.

I thought you had to be around 53 to join - my cousin jumped in at the first possible moment to take advantage of their insurance.  Your still too young ... but hey - you get all the good discounts with the AARP card.  Take advantage of it!

It must be, or they are just doing a little early recruiting.  It is kind of a blow to your ego just when you get used to looking younger without the grey hair. :'(

You're eligible to join at 50, according to their website.  So maybe it is a little early recruiting.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should join just to get those "senior discounts".  I'll be the first to admit that I'm cheap.....(or should I say frugal).

Start telling people that you're 50; everyone will think you look great for your age.   ;)
