since I am a member of AAA and USA cycling I have never gotten enough out of AARP discounts to pay for the membership fees even though they have been after me for over 10 years, or since I turned 50. I found the magazine boring, whiney and defeating and grew impatient and irritated with it after reading three or four issues at the library. I have no problem admitting my age and around here they routinely offer a senior discount, if they don't I ask for one.
