Since my husband and I are both 50+ (I won't say how much +) :) we belong to AARP. AARP is short for American Association of Retired Persons. We do not agree with all of their politics but for $16.00 per year, their discounts, magazines and newsletters are a real bargain with truly a wealth of information in each. Some people don't want to tell their age when they turn 50; I say, just take the discounts and benefits and run.
I was skimming through the AARP newspaper, AARP Bulletin, which is mailed to us every 2 months and found an article titled "99 Great Ways to Save". Always looking for discounts and bargains, I started checking out some of the suggested sites online.
One of the sites that I hit upon is at THIS LINK. It is #14 on the list--Free online college courses. Yale, MIT and Stanford are among dozens of universities offering no-cost knowledge. Here is a copy of some of what is on the page which could be very useful in these economic times for furthering your own personal learning or that of a student in your home. Check it out. I will be bookmarking this for myself to revisit.

You're very welcome. However, due to the political leanings of AARP, we no longer belong to this site. The links are still excellent though.
