Right now in every legislative district across the state, AARP volunteer advocates are meeting with legislators in advance of the legislative session.

We’re familiar with the adage Home Sweet Home. But as we age, many of us not only cling to our homes but also our neighborhoods—the familiar surroundings of streets, stores, friends, businesses and community.

Every day hardworking people struggle to make ends meet. In fact, almost 20 million people 50 and older are feeling overwhelmed by mounting debt, poor credit or lack of savings. It doesn’t have to be that way.
