50 soon and .................

[Dot Man]

I just got my offical invitation to join the AARP. Whoopee! I think. Dang how did they know? 50 is a milestone for sure and I really look forward to being 50 for many reasons. But is the AARP worth it or are there alternatives?

Does this make me a senior citizen or do I still have a ways to go.

Either way let the good times roll.

I have saved a lot on auto insurance via AARP. Might be worth checking out.

Hey Dot Man,

Just make sure you're healthy enough(and beyond) to make it to the Fish-In in Roscoe this coming year(-;

Happy Birthday and enjoy the milestone. By the way, where did that word come from?

Watch the signs in the restraunts. Some of them start their senior discout programs at 50. A lot of other ones start at 55. I'm almost there. I for one don't mind eating cheaper.

Hi Jerry,

Yep, the senior citizens discounts are
great though many places consider 55 as the
starting point. What ticks me off is, noone
has ever asked to see my ID to prove I was
old enough.*G* Warm regards, Jim

I too joined AARP when I turned 50. But really didn't get/use many of the bennies. Around here allot of places give discounts if you are 55+. Which is nice. Yes I use them. Just keep in mind that in reality AARP is a PAC. If you lean their way politically then it may be worth it. If not, then........

I compare them to the NRA! Very powerful group that was at the forefront of the latest prescription drug changes to medicare. However that is very confusing!! The average senior is going to have a hard time selecting the plan that fits them best.

Be careful how you all reply to this one
I also have a birthday coming up and I'm going to start counting backward. It worked for Jack Benny.

I suspect Dotman, that you are going over the awful hill. But since you've already gone through midlife crisis and survived, how bad can it be?

I have a very good female friend who had trouble spitting out she was over 40 (much less 50). Liked the sound of 30 much better - so she uses that as the basis for her age. She is now 30-25. Works for her.......
