I am still waiting for the material that will tell me how I can save money. The gentleman on the phone said my first year of membership will be free. He also said they've dropped the age requirement to 45 (there must be some Board member who are 45 or older).

Which I may add you will be eventually, just a matter of time. Enjoy your youth while you can.
My old geezer body says where do I sign up.
My juvenile brain says over my dead body!
Looking at it it appears as less a vehicle for advocacy and more for selling products and services.
Appears to be a bit of both. They lowered the age of admission to 45 so it is no longer just for seniors. A 45 year old has different concerns than a 65 year old so not sure it was a good idea to lower the age,
I'm a member. Got a free membership when I signed up for a cell phone plan through Zoomer Wireless. There's not much to the savings based on when I can see so far. Mostly geared towards retirees so they have preferred vendors for life insurance, estate planning, funeral needs and car rentals that sort of thing. You get a magazine and they send out invites for free retirement planning sessions. It's not something I would pay for though.
lol Here's a sample from their March publication. It is really geared towards seniors, not 45 yr olds.
