AARP Minnesota

AARP’s focus during the 2014 Legislative Session will be strengthening the financial security of Minnesotans. Whether nearing retirement, or putting their kids through college, AARP is fighting to put financial security within reach for Minnesotans who work hard and plan for their future.

Today, more than 42 million family caregivers provide an estimated $450 billion in unpaid care for their loved ones. The estimated value of the care provided by family and friends in Minnesota is $8.9 billion annually. As the population ages, the number of workers providing care for their aging parents or relatives is on the rise. Family caregivers often struggle to balance work and family care giving responsibilities that can create financial hardship especially when caregivers lose income or have to leave the workforce due to these demands.

AARP is fighting to put financial security within reach for people who work hard and plan for their future. Our nation and its working families face an unprecedented crisis: a vast retirement savings deficit, estimated to be as much as $6.6 trillion, or about $57,000 per household.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have added two special AARP Days to their 2014 schedule. During these two dates AARP members can receive tickets at a discounted price.

Winter is here and in Minnesota our heating bills are already going up, up, up because of the cold weather.

October in Minnesota means fall colors, falling temps and lamenting the Vikings and Gophers. It also means open enrollment for both those on Medicare and those not yet eligible.
