Tell us about the problem you’d like a financial planner to help you address. As clearly as you can, describe:
1) a financial goal you have
2) the obstacles to meeting your goal, and
3) anything that has happened to you or family members lately to make the situation worse.

Include enough figures—on your income or savings, expenses or debts—so we can understand the scale of your problem. DO NOT provide your Social Security number or any other account or identification numbers, and DO NOT send us tax returns, bills, or other documents.

If you are having difficulty submitting the form, print and fill out this page, and send it to the address provided in the Terms & Conditions. If you have questions about AARP or your membership, please call 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277) or send an e-mail to member@aarp.org.
