The woman who sold me my last phone was probably in her early 20s, and she joined AARP for the discounts on her phone plan.

Off topic: the old farts in the picture hold the controller like old farts. The default way for people my age to pick up a Playstation or Xbox controller is to have your trigger fingers nowhere near the R1, L1 buttons....

I'm so old I can't get the hang of those new-fangled controllers. :)

Presumably you're talking about the claw grip? Didn't realize that was the new default. Orthopedic specialists, take note.

You do not have to be 55 to join AARP. You have to be 18+. There are some benefits only 50+ are eligible for though.

I feel like almost no one knows this. It would be fun to join, get some AARP swag to display at work and then casually talk up your anti aging regimen to everyone.

Whoa, I didn't know that! TIL.
