4.0 out of 5 stars Should be titled "For Folks Over 65", February 11, 2003

By	"esh" (Grants Pass, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Free Stuff & Good Deals for Folks Over 50 (Paperback)

This is a very good resource for seniors, but the title is rather misleading. Most of the deals are for the over-65 crowd. Too many don't specify the age requirement, and it can be frustrating to call or write, only to find you don't qualify. I would highly recommend this for anyone collecting Social Security; those younger will find themselves in the unusual position of wishing they were older.

By A Customer

This review is from: Free Stuff & Good Deals for Folks Over 50 (Paperback)

This author has really done her homework. This book is chock-full of money-saving tips and ideas for people over 50. We're used to seeing senior discounts here and there, but this presents a myriad of them in one easy-to-use guide. Using this, you don't have to keep a drawer-full of clippings to keep track of what's out there.

Although, I am not happy about being called a "senior", this info has given me great ideas that I've used to get an apartment for free and ways to travel that I can afford.
