If you’re too young for AARP, then try Qvisory

According to an e-mail from their PR guy:

Qvisory is an online community for young people [KM: That’s 18 to 34 acc. to them] that’s a brainchild of Andy Stern from the SEIU [KM: That’s a labor union] . It’s built on the same model as AARP, but for young people; it will help them with work, health and money issues they face with services like health insurance and financial counseling, and will advocate for their interests in DC as well.

It also acts as a social network where you can make a pact with other users to make a change– such as pay off credit card debt, move money into index funds, or start paying off grad school loans.

As for the age business, where are the 34 to 49 year olds to go? Where’s the advocacy for them? That demographic is so often lost in the talk about young people and old people. I guess I can join for two years.

A Qvisory membership costs $36 per year versus AARP’s $39.95 for five years. But with Qvisory, you get free phone financial counseling and use of handy tools like an e-safe deposit box.
