Hi.....I turned 50 about a month ago and---right on schedule---AARP (American Association for Retired Persons) sent me a membership application.

I'm curious: Are there any or many over-50s here on TE who belong to AARP? If so, what do you get out of it?

If you don't belong, is the reason related to AARP itself---something you don't like about the organization? Or??

Dues aren't expensive: $12.50/annual. Just wondering if people find membership useful....irrelevant...something in between?

Thanks!
