Not Yet!

I have nothing against older people. In fact, I have a lot of respect for AARP and their work.

I get odd mail all the time, catalogs for odd home remedies (magnets to cure body odor?) and ugly collectibles.

I reached a whole new level of shock when I received an email from the AARP, complete with temporary membership card.

The email is nice, I suppose they mean well:

Our records show that you haven't yet registered for the benefits of AARP membership, even though you are fully eligible.

As a member, you'll have the resources and information you need to get the most out of life over 50. You'll have access to exclusive discounts.

I have to admit, those discounts are tempting, as are some of the benefits listed in the email. It's why older people look so darn happy - look at some of the fun benefits for only $12.50 a year!

Save at thousands of hotels, motels and resorts worldwide.

Low-interest, no-fee AARP credit card.

An AARP safe-driving course.

And More!

Tempting, but I'm thirty!

I look forward to your joining us. I think you'll agree with our other members: AARP is one of America's very best values.

30!
