Aging in Place... or Not: Should You Stay or Should You Go?

Education


Should I stay in my home as I age, or should I move to something better suited for the years ahead? It's a question almost nobody answers on purpose. Most people let it answer itself — until a fall, a health scare, or the loss of a spouse makes the decision for them at the worst possible time.


In this episode, I walk through three good reasons to stay in your home and three good reasons to consider moving. I also explain why the timing of that decision matters just as much as the decision itself — because it's far easier to decide at 65 than it is at 85. Along the way, I show how a reverse mortgage can support you no matter which choice you make. If you're determined to stay, it can fund home modifications and in-home care. If you're ready to move, the HECM for Purchase program can help you buy a better home without a monthly mortgage payment.


If you've been putting off this question, this episode is for you.
