There are advantages to getting older, one of which is saving money.

All kinds of places offer senior discounts. Some you probably know like restaurants. But there are countless more places.

I'm sorry I just learned that in a lot of these places you "unlock" the savings at the age of 50! I now ask almost everywhere I go, "Do you have a senior discount?"

If you think you need to be a member of AARP to qualify, you don't!

I've rounded up some of the best senior discounts that don't require a paid membership. This is just a small list. Remember these words... "Do you have a senior discount?" You'll be surprised how much you can save.

One caveat is you might have to prove your age by showing an ID or join the companies loyalty program which is almost always free.

Be Well,
Anisa

Insurance...

State Farm: While it's not specifically a discount for seniors, State Farm's Drive Safe and Save program can cut some drivers' insurance bills by up to 50 percent. Using data from your vehicle's OnStar or SYNC systems, State Farm looks at your mileage and driving patterns to calculate how much you can save on your premium. Us seniors who don't typically drive very much could save big.

GEICO: They have a range of car insurance discounts for the 50-plus crowd. In some states, it also offers a guaranteed renewal contract to seniors who have been accident-free for three years and do not have any drivers under 25 in their households.

In Closing...

There are thousands and thousands of discounts out there. Do a little research online before heading out to a store, restaurant or anywhere really. But most of all don't forget to ask... "Do you have a senior discount?"
