[KitchenWitch]

3. I am 44 and have been getting them for about a year.

I am also getting all the medicare crap too.

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. I don't know your situation at all, but...

If you were on SSDI, they would send you the Medicare stuff. That surprises me about AARP!

[LeftyMom]

2. I remember my Dad getting them in his 40s.

But he and his father have the same name, so they might have thought he was in his 90s.

4. I'm 47 and got one the other day...

Then I noticed it was addressed to the previous tenant...

5. I started getting them as soon as I retired from the Navy -

Didn't matter that I was only 38, I was "retired"...

6. As I recall, I started getting them when I was about 50. I joined for 1 year,

mainly for the discounts, and I was inundated with junk mail for offers on merchandise, insurance, vacations, you name it. I never renewed and am still receiving mail from them several years later.

It seems I've crossed another threshold lately as I've been receiving mail about scooters!

11. I get the scooter crap too

And junk mail pushing burial insurance. Jeez, people! My hair may be gray, but in the words of Monty Python, I'm not dead yet! I'm not even old enough for Medicare, alas.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Right on. I'm not even resting nor am I pining for the fjords.

8. I was in my 40's.

I actually tried to join when I was 40 because they had an incredible geneology library in town that was free to AARP members. By the time I was eligible to join, the library was gone. nuts.

[Tom Kitten]

[Deja Q]

12. For me, 28...

:crazy:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

14. I get one every two months

or so. I just turned 60 and have been getting them for 12-13 years.
I tear them apart with my teeth before casting them into the dust bin.

[JVS]

15. I know 28 year olds who have gotten mail asking them to join

16. My sister got one when she was 12

But that was back in the 80's. I figured they would have a more up to date database by now.
