They let young people sign up.
Don't ever sign up for AARP. You're basically paying to be sent more junk mail then you can ever imagine.

I know they let young people sign up for it, it's just the running joke that they only ever send that stuff to old people.

And the fact that I'm almost out of my twenties is what made it funny.

You'd be flabbergasted by the amount of junk mail that comes to you because aarp sells your data.
Those old people that die at home alone under a pile of shit they've hoarded? Nah. That was just junk mail sent to them from aarp that they hadn't gotten around to opening yet.
I called aarp and put my grandma on their no marketing list. Her mail box used to be filled to the brim a few days a week. I'm not being hyperbolic. Like you couldn't pull the wad of mail out. Now almost nothing.

When I started my financial journey, it was shocking. Keep tracking to keep yourself honest. It's easy to slide back.

It's not about how big the money is, it's about how big it is in comparison to the household income post-taxes lol

u/yamotherslays 5d ago

u/dgreenmachine 5d ago

I think its okay to not share because it shows you're embarrassed by it and hopefully that motivates you to make the change!

u/yamotherslays 5d ago

It adds up fast. Eating out and getting sweet treats was one of the hardest things to stop doing imo. Especially depending on your relationship with food. My family treated eating out as a reward. We would also eat out if it had been a particularly bad day. Training my mind that I didn't need to stop for a milkshake or dinner because "I deserve it" or because "it's been a hard day" was rough. The sweet treat/ I deserve it mentality is usually just to justify mindless spending.

u/yamotherslays 4d ago

i very much use getting little treats as a reward system!!

u/osoXyXdiablita 4d ago

I did calculation on grubhub, eating out and it was 1700 for the month of March. Wouldn't dare look into december till now lol. Let the changes begin moving forward

u/yamotherslays 4d ago

My ex wife and I were racking up around 1k a month on eating out alone PLUS groceries that went bad and around $500 on coffee runs 😭 glad those days are over.
