(BPT) – In an era of constant digital transformation and economic unpredictability, staying ahead of life’s “what-ifs” is a meaningful effort. Whether it’s a sudden home appliance breakdown or a sophisticated digital scam, the sheer volume of “to-dos” may lead to decision fatigue.
“Protecting your assets requires a strategy. With an AARP membership, our members have access to a curated list of special benefits that take the guesswork out of safeguarding what matters most to them,” said Jeff Gaboury, Senior Vice President of Financial Products and Services at AARP. “By leveraging these benefits, our members can cut through any potential decision fatigue and build a comprehensive safety net that helps to protect their home, families and futures.”
But protecting your hard-earned assets can be handled with ease and confidence. AARP member benefits give you access to practical, everyday tools to help safeguard your home, your identity, your family’s future and more. By focusing on these four steps, you can build a safety net that is both robust and manageable:
1. Protect your most valuable asset
Your home is most likely your biggest investment, and like many homeowners, you’ve probably been caught off guard by the “hidden” costs of maintenance. Beyond standard insurance, a home warranty can help protect your systems and appliances. AARP members can save $36 or more on an American Home Shield® home warranty, which can help cover things in your home that break down over time, like the refrigerator, dishwasher, HVAC system and water heater. Plus, this discount can be combined with any valid sitewide promotional offer to save you more. Terms apply. See shopping.ahs.com/aarp for details. This offer is valid for only new American Home Shield members. See the plan agreement at ahs.com/contracts/ for coverage details, service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.
Another great way to protect your home is with Homeowners Insurance. Get access to information on discounts for house and condo insurance to help protect your most valuable assets, with customized coverage and benefits designed especially for AARP members. You can also save on car insurance, including savings when bundling home and auto policies.
2. Guard Your identity
Guarding your identity is very important, and keeping it secure should feel seamless, not stressful. While technology is always changing, protecting yourself is easier than ever with LifeLock. AARP members can save 44% off identity theft protection plans that detect and alert you to threats you could miss on your own. *Terms apply.
3. Build your financial plan with confidence
Financial security isn’t just about saving, it’s about informed growth. AARP members can save up to $144 per year on Yahoo Finance Premium Plans, which include financial tools and research to help build wealth and retire comfortably. You can analyze your portfolio’s risk and performance, get expert stock picks, dividend analysis, risk insights and customizable screeners for confident long-term investing.
4. Plan for the future and establish your legacy
Everyone wants the peace of mind that comes with knowing loved ones will be taken care of, no matter what happens. AARP members have access to information on personalized long-term care options to find solutions to help protect your retirement assets and prepare for the future. AARP members also have access to information on Life Insurance Plans to make sure that you’re taking care of the ones you care about most.
The last piece of the puzzle is creating an estate plan. AARP members receive a 20% discount on trusts, wills and estate planning documents with Trust & Will; you have access to customer support, customizable documents and one year of free unlimited updates. By leveraging your member benefits and practical tools from your AARP membership, you can ensure that your home, finances and family remain secure in an ever-changing world.
