I am beginning to embrace my status as a recent member of the "older adult" population. It has its perks, like discounts at businesses and services. I just discovered the programs being offered by the local community center and I'm kind of impressed. And most of the programs are FREE! We just have to pay an annual $7 membership fee. I'm talking about bingo, lunch, day trips, line dancing and various exercise classes. Yeah, I'm starting to take advantage of every "senior" benefit that comes my way.
I used to overlook the courtesies offered by restaurants and retail stores. But now, I'm snapping them up! I'll usually check the business website and ask without hesitation if there are any discounts for older adults. I have no shame!
I'm laughing at myself right now because I can remember when I got my first mailer from AARP. And I wasn't even retired! I refused to even open the envelope! Talk about denial!
Oh, how things have changed! Honey, if there's a senior coupon or discount, I'm using it!
