With rising costs and economic uncertainty, many of us are looking to start the new year by taking more control of our finances and tackling lingering debt.

The annual program aims to make communities in Virginia more livable for people of all ages.
If your New Year’s resolutions include finding a new job, work-from-home opportunities may sound appealing. While many remote positions are legitimate, some aren’t what they appear to be. Criminals often pose as legitimate employers on job boards, social media, or send unsolicited texts, promising easy money, flexible hours, and a quick hiring process.
Virginia lawmakers will consider paid leave for the state’s family caregivers and tighter rules for cryptocurrency ATMs during the 2026 legislative session. Along with establishing a prescription drug affordability board, paid leave and crypto fraud measures are AARP Virginia’s top priorities this year.

With holiday shopping—and shipping—comes the risk of package theft. Thieves — often called “Porch Pirates” — steal millions of packages from American doorsteps each year, totaling billions of dollars in merchandise. You can help protect your deliveries with a few simple steps.
Over 1.5 million Virginians currently serve as family caregivers, experiencing emotional stress, fatigue and financial strain as a result of their role.
