Gold Membership fee now go up to $40.00?

YES, LOSING $$$$$$ every year with cost of living and benefits constantly rising!!!!!

The only reason that i renewed, is that i more or less did it on the spur of the moment, after i read the renewal notification.

Now that i am "officially" retired, my car insurance rate went down, as they no longer have me using the vehicle to commute, to go to work.
So that's a benefit for me, being old, and collecting social security.
