If You’re 55+, Here Are 10 Senior Discounts You Are Missing Out On

One of the best parts of entering your golden years is the chance to save a lot of green. By the time you’ve reached age 55 and beyond, you not only have some of your most fun and creative years ahead of you, you also benefit from some serious discounts. 

From entertainment to groceries, home goods to car repairs and even cruises, there are plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy life without delving too deeply into your hard-earned savings. 

While you might think that 55 is a bit too young to be considered “senior,” you’re actually eligible to sign up for membership with AARP when you turn 50. Having that membership can be key to unlocking these discounts.

GOBankingRates has compiled a list of some senior discounts you should know about, based on data from Senior Living and The Senior List.
