I'm a baby boomer, so I'm already an AARP member. If you're not familiar with AARP, people make fun of the non-profit organization as a national group for old people, like grandpas and grandmas. People who aren't members feign shock when AARP is mentioned and joke about how they're too young and dread getting the promotional mail from the organization when they approach 50, which is when you qualify to be a member. A lot of people I know who are even over 50 joke about how they're in denial and won't consider joining AARP. They should, though. It's a pretty huge, pretty amazing organization, and since as of this year, every Baby Boomer (the boom ran from 1946-1964) is 50+, it's an organization that's not just for "seniors" or "elderly."
