I have done a lot of research regarding reverse mortgage and I understand that this is much like “Payday Advance”. The overall interest including all the fees, etc. are substantial however, it is an opportunity to have the money now. I’ve own my house for close to 35 years now all paid up. It’s a comfortable place situated in a comfortable neighborhood. I don’t want to leave it and go to Belize where I can live on my social security alone. It’s the comfort that I don’t want to lose. If and when I’m incapacitated then I’ll land up in an old age home of sorts. My children are fairly well off and the inheritance left from the house may just cause trouble among them. So by augmenting my income now from this mortgage, I hope to gain a bit more quality and comfort of life. I fully understand the position many contributors endorsed. The math stinks overall. But I wish to enjoy life now. When I croak either way I become the loser. But thanks for the inout.
