I'm one old person who dropped my membership in AARP 10 years ago.
I think the problem with most young Americans(not all) is that they don't know how to save. It's the folks that can't save that want SS kept the way it is.
God forbid they would have to give up a luxury,small or large,to save for their future.
We were foolish enough to put some of our money in an AARP fund. It turned out to be our worst performing investment by far.
I'm someone who just turned 50... and will NEVER, I repeat, NEVER join AARP. 'Eff the AARP.
