Do you all get any magazines that you believe are beneficial?

The NASO membership is the way to go. It offers not only the insurance and Referee Magazine, but they give you a 50 percent off card for all Marriott hotels. Each year, I use that card once or twice, and in one weekend, I can save enough to pay for the membership for several years. The savings from that hotel discount card is over $1000 since I originally joined NASO three years ago. (I stayed at a Marriott in San Francisco during Christmas week once for $47.)

If you never make an insurance claim, which most of us never do, your money doesn't just disappear like with all other insurance. You actually get something this way.
