When I turned 50, I certainly didn't want to be concidered a senior citizen. Yes, I got the AARP card before turning 50, and after turning 50, I joined---for 1 year. I didn't use the discounts so it really wasn't much of a benefit. A few years later, my sister tuned me into the fact that being a senior has benefits, even in the 50's. I love eating and getting senior discounts that some places offer to us in the 50's. My sister actually celebrated when she reached the age of senior citizen status at eateries. She was soooooo excited.
Remember: Your age is just a number. How old you are is in your heart.
