Aarp bulletin may 2023 issue | members only access

The May issue of _AARP Bulletin _offers readers a slew of the latest consumer news updates and stories — from the latest rising artificial intelligence (AI) scam to navigating the changes of

the retail landscape. The following are highlights from this month’s issue: COVER STORY: THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OF SHOPPING You could argue that shopping never really changes — you browse,

select, pay and occasionally, if it doesn’t work out, you return. But look into how you do any of those tasks, and you’ll realize everything about shopping has changed. In this fascinating

and unique report, AARP details the full breadth of today’s retail advances, both online and in-store, that can make shopping faster, easier, cheaper and, yes, more enjoyable. From the most

useful shopping apps to cash-back rewards to the latest in-store tools and experiences, our _Bulletin_ shopping experts offer all the tips you need to know to maximize your dollars in this

shifting retail landscape. ALSO IN THE MAY ISSUE: FRAUD WATCH: AI GIVES SCAMMERS A SCARY NEW TOOL The next time you get a frantic phone call from a loved one asking for money, you may want

to check twice before helping. Artificial intelligence has opened a new door for scammers, making it easy to replicate almost anyone’s voice and speaking style from a short audio sample.

This month, learn all about this growing scam and how to protect yourself from becoming a victim. YOUR MONEY: DEBT-DEFYING CREDIT CARD STRATEGIES Americans are racking up credit card debt at

record levels, and given the inflation rate, it’s easy to understand why. In this issue, we give you four approaches to tackle your credit card balance and get your finances back on track.

YOUR HEALTH: HOW TO MASTER ONLINE HEALTH RESEARCH Whether it’s an unexpected diagnosis, a strange new symptom or a shocking new remedy a friend tells you about, all of us frequently research

health topics online. But so much information on the internet is incorrect, bogus or actually just marketing presented as objective material. Our guide to doing effective online health

research details websites you can trust, search processes that work and how you can detect if a source is safe and legitimate. YOUR HEALTH: WHY WALKING IS SO GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN Take your

brain health into your own hands — or, should we say, feet! Lacing up your sneakers and hitting the road for a walk, especially outdoors, is proven to be powerful medicine for your brain.
