Actually my cousin (who lives in England) and her husband are members of SAGA. They are both in their mid 60s (both retired) and they go on vacation two and sometimes three times a year. I've been told the travel discounts are wonderful.

That's what those boxes of hair colour are for - grey can't stand up to it

I just noticed SAGA has car insurance, maybe we can all save some money (well in a couple of years anyway)

I got one as soon as I turned 50 (7 years ago). I have never got around to joining, although I have been told I am missing out on "perks" - not sure what perks!! I think they need to change the name - AARP - the name just doesn't suit any more. Let's face it - how many of us can afford to retire at 50? The way things are going here, I'm probably going to be working until I'm 70!!!
My parents joined the AARP years ago, I'm not so sure about perks, Dad stopped opening their mail years ago as they were always begging for money.

That's about the size of it. They only invite people at 50 because it means more money for them. Before long they'll be inviting 30 year-olds.

Hey don't get carried away, I'm just a spring chicken, no grandkids yet (having no kids might have something to do with it, though).
