AARP Texas

Cuando se trata de celebrar las fiestas, los latinos siempre lo hacemos a lo grande.

AARP Texas is praising the Austin City Council for rejecting a proposed $ 25-a-month electric service customer charge. The City Council instead approved on Dec. 8 changes to its rates that will result in an overall $9 a month increase, which includes a $3 a month hike in the customer charge. AARP Texas had expressed concerns that a higher customer charge would have hit hard many Austinites, particularly older residents on fixed incomes and others struggling to make ends meet.

Tamales, posadas, buñuelos y celebrando la aparición de la Virgen de Guadalupe a Juan Diego y celebrando la nochebuena. Todos estos son eventos que ocurren durante las fiestas. Y eventos que celebramos los hispanos.

Las fiestas son un tiempo para estar juntos, celebrar y dar. Desafortunadamente, los estafadores aprovechan la temporada para darse regalos a sí mismos, usando tu dinero para pagar por ellos. De hecho, un nuevo estudio de AARP muestra que todo el proceso de entrega de regalos, desde comprar el regalo perfecto hasta asegurarse de que llegue al destinatario, ofrece una serie de oportunidades para que los estafadores se aprovechen.

AARP Austin in partnership Safe Streets Austin has helped create public spaces designed for residents of all ages, abilities and needs. The "Healthy Streets" initiative, allowed for the closing of a 10-mile stretch of Austin's roads to vehicles so that it would be open to walkers and cyclists. This temporary pandemic closure has now become permanent. AARP continues to fight for a healthier Austin.

The Christmas traditions of Mexican culture—gathering for a tamalada, holding Las Posadas or celebrating La Virgen de Guadalupe—can be found widely across Texas.

Amid growing food insecurity, during the holidays, Texans should be aware of signs of hunger in their relatives and friends.

AARP asked the Austin mayoral candidates where they stand on key issues for 50-plus voters.

Los riesgos son inevitables en este mundo, y esa es la razón por la que tenemos seguros: para mitigarlos. Por el precio de una prima, transfieres parte del riesgo a la compañía de seguros y a cambio recibes un pago si se presenta un problema. El objetivo es reducir tu vulnerabilidad ante una pérdida repentina y potencialmente catastrófica, y proteger así tu patrimonio financiero y el de tus seres queridos. En teoría suena bien, pero algunas formas de seguro no son necesarias o quizás no valgan la pena.

AARP Texas focused on celebrating the beauty of Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) with diverse events across the Lone Star State. It was a great time to provide opportunities to recognize the contributions and influences Hispanic Americans bring to the United States through historical and cultural events. From Houston to Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and the Rio Grande Valley, all corners of the state were beaming with pride.
