From what I understand, if a Senior needs money to meet expenses, this program will give them additional funds.. Allow them to stay in their home for the rest of their life... but the bank takes the house when the Senior dies.. Does this about sum it up? Does anyone know anymore about it?
How do you feel about this program? Do you think it's a good thing? I suppose if a Senior is very strapped for funds and cannot afford to live on SS or savings.. It's a viable choice.. But I have my feelings about it on a societal level. Much has been said of late about the systematic and relentless transfer of wealth from the middle class to the upper 1%. This is exactly what this turns out to be.. Many times, a persons home is their only form of wealth. Most folks hope to be able to pass this along to their children, or chosen hiers.. thus keeping this wealth in our middle class sector. This takes this only asset.. and moves it up into the pockets of the rich, draining the Middle class little by little. Something is wrong with a Society that cannot provide for their elderly.. It's sad that slowly, and surely... everything will be in the hands of the few.. while most are lucky to have the shirt on their backs... Opinions..?
Reverse mortgages a Godsend? Or a scam..... or at the very least... a transfer of wealth....
