I actually had a friend in college apply for an AARP card and got it. Apparently they aren’t sticklers for your age to get a membership card.

I agree with Debbie — you also have the advantage of having lived longer and learning more! I am only 23 and doing my best to educate myself in personal finance, but I know there are many things (such as issues related to home buying) that I can probably only learn from going through the actual experience. But I am already starting to see my car insurance premiums creep down, and that’s a pretty nice feeling :)

Re the senior discounts- a few weeks ago I suddenly realized my parents will be that age next year. I almost pointed that out to my mom and then reconsidered, telling a newly single woman that she is considered a senior isn’t very kind!

You may worry less about impressing the opposite sex with your spending prowess as you get older?

You probably know yourself better and know the world better, so you might be able to make decisions that are better for you. (Of course, you may also still be having to live with all the baggage that appeared whenever you made those bad choices that taught you so well.)

Here’s a bone for you–my dad really didn’t like turning thirty, but he didn’t mind turning sixty-five because of the discounts! Weird, eh?

Oh but you missed some good ones like:

You don’t get tickets when you get pulled over.
People suppose you know how to negotiate so prices start lower.
You probably make more at work with a questionable benefit of being better (no flames it is just my experience…and I’m one of the one’s getting paid for it!)
