Quotes of the Day

Almost every day, I run three miles on my treadmill or I bike ten miles. I also take advantage of the new technology and track my steps with a Fitbit and an iPhone.

Each month, the reverse mortgage lender sends you a check that you can spend on food, clothing, travel, or whatever you want. The money you receive each month is really a loan from the bank against the value of your home, which makes the monthly check free from taxation. The main drawback of a reverse mortgage is that it can diminish the estate that you may want to pass on to your heirs or use for some other purpose. Also, some loans require repayment within a certain number of years. The fees and the effective interest rate you're charged to borrow the money can be quite high. You have other alternatives to tapping the equity in your home. Simply selling your home and buying a less expensive property (or renting) is one option. [2019] - Eric Tyson
