Baby Boomers \u2013 defined as a person who was born during the Post-World War II baby boom, between the years of 1946 and 1964 \u2013 are one of the largest demographic groups in human history. Since January 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 1996, a member of the Baby Boomer generation turned 50 on the average of every 7.5 seconds, according to a statistic from the National Council on Aging.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s a Baby Boomer to do? Celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I\u2019m pleased to announce that Consumer Cellular has joined AARP in an on-going celebration of this historic milestone. We\u2019ll be sponsoring content on AARP\u2019s website and throughout their publications during their year-long \u201cBoomers@50+\u201d campaign, including a six-part series in AARP The Magazine. The plan is to acknowledge and celebrate the many accomplishments of the Boomer generation.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Consumer Cellular, we regularly celebrate this important demographic with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumercellular.com\/shopping\/choose\/plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cell phone plans<\/a>&nbsp;starting as low as $10 a month and exclusive discounts for AARP members. &nbsp;In fact, as the exclusive wireless provider for AARP we\u2019re pleased to offer AARP members a monthly discount of 5%, plus a 30% discount off select accessories.
