Hi does anyone know of any good health plans for the elderly a supplement to medicare? Any one know of highmark bluecross, and AARP ? Thanks!

AARP seems to say when you are 50…
Social Security seems to say when you are 65…

Really, what is it? I am 55.

silver sneakers?
aarp?
what restaurants offer discounts at 50?

First I get the AARP application. Then my doctor is recommending all of these tests saying–Well you are 50
How have others taken turning 50?

It used to be 65 but things are changing so much. AARP accepts people at 50, most Active Adult Communities require you be 55. So as people live longer it seems like the age should increase to meet Senior Citizen definition.

Ad in AARP magazine. I am getting a cell phone, have you a good experience with service and fees? Thank you.

Now that I’m officially on their mailing list can you share in the benefits to becoming a member. I haven’t read up on it yet.
Thank You.
Any other groups similar to AARP?
Thanks for all your answers. My mind is made up. I won’t be joining.

I’m looking for any surveys done, such by AARP or some other organization, to identify what criteria Boomers say they use (or will use) when choosing where to live after retirement. By criteria I mean things like warm weather, promixity to health care, affordable housing…that sort of thing. I can guess what the criteria might be, but it would nice to see a survey that validates (or disproves) my thoughts. This is research for a book.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciate. Thanks to all who contribute.
