Someone once told me, once we hit 50 years old, our postal mail will change.
So far I signed up for AARP and tonight we are attending a retirement dinner
Seminar.
Have your mail changed yet?
-
How is it supposed to change? (I am not 50 yet, but my wife will be next year and I will hopefully get there a few years later). Do you mean that junk mail solicitations targeting an older demographic will increase once you hit that magic number? I'm not sure that I follow the question.
-
I'm 77 and it hasn't changed yet. What should I be looking for?
-
I'm over 50 and it hasn't changed for me. Who told you that?

Your "postal mail" ?? Why would anything change in your mail after you turn 50? Unless it's junk mail targeting people over 50.
-
I never heard of such a thing, I am 61 and nothing have change. Are you suppose to call or tell the postal people you are over 50 years old????
-
That's true
You'll be targeted by a different demographic of junk mail. AARP, life insurance, burial, etc... All of a sudden you'll be classified as old and close to death... at 50. So dumb, but true.
Even the ideal target audience of television watchers is 18-49 demographic, after that you don't count, because apparently you no longer shop or are a consumer...
-
Has not changed for me either.
-
Has not changed for me, but of course when I moved it took a while for unsolicited crap to catch up woth me. Most of it goes into file 13. It seems to me if a person is not ordering anything from them and has not in years they would quit sending it. Nope just cut another tree and send more junk mail.

The only change is the price of stamps going up and they deliver packages on Sundays.
-
This is the first time hearing about postal changes other than stamps.

I"ve gotten mail from AARP for years, even before I turned 50. They buy their mailing list from a couple places I get e-mail from. I can tell because I used my nickname on those sites and that's how they address the mail. ::)
-
I am 72 mail has not changed what do you mean
-
I'm over 50 and I've been getting junk mail where I can sign up for life insurance and burial plans. Could that be the change I should be looking for?
:heart:
-
I do get occasional mail that is targeted to older people, such as burial insurance, medical tests etc. I no longer get anything from AARP because I kept mailing their mail back to them and finally got my name off their mailing lists.
-
I hope they put a restriction or opt out of all the ads list kinda like they do with small po boxes... Save some paper and save the Earth.
-
yes I am over 50 and is get retirement type mail
-
I know two people in their twenties that have AARP memberships (for the dining out discount )--they said anyone can get a membership.
I've received life insurance mail since age 18....

I do get more ads for the older generation. I also get more stuff in email. If that is what is meant by your mail changing, then yes. Being a member of a Senior Center may be part of it. BMaston12

I have always had TONS of junk mail amongst my regular mail, so it hasn't changed at all that I'm aware of.
I have a small bag next to the front door where I immediately put the junk mail to be recycled.
I LOVE getting REAL mail, like something I've ordered online, or some of my rewards from doing surveys and such, so I can put up with junk mail. I also try and mail bills once in a while to keep the post office in business.
Don't you think it would be terribly sad to get NO mail at all?? :( I'd feel as though I were stranded on a desert island.

My husband and I are both in our early sixties, very close to retirement. Our increase in mail has been coming from Medicare supplemental insurance companies, and oh yes, those brochures about "preplanning" our funeral.
