The Sandwich Generation Video



You've refinanced your mortgage down to a great rate. You've planned for your children's college funding. You are finally on track to retire at 65. Then a parent or in-law needs long term care. Unprepared, for the expense your retirement date gets delayed, welcome to the Sandwich Generation.
The Sandwich Generation is a new phenomenon. There are now 20-25 million Americans aged 40-60 who are "sandwiched" caring for their aging parents while supporting their own children.
The Sandwich Generation was predicted to receive the largest transfer of wealth in history, as the Greatest Generation passed on their assets. However, the economic downturn, housing bubble and increased longevity have put this inheritance in doubt.
Many of my clients have been dipping into their retirement or college funds to help with healthcare expenses for parents, or in-laws, unaware of a simple and cost effective way to prepare.
The video is only four minutes long and could save you five or more years of retirement. That's a much better offer than the green lizard's 15 minutes saving you 15%....

Sooner or Later?

 


By delaying taking a Reverse Mortgage you could be losing thousands in benefits and years in retirement plan survival rates



A recent article in the Journal of Financial Planning studied the benefits of taking a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit out early in retirement rather than as a last resort. The article confirmed that utilizing a Reverse Mortgage early in retirement has tremendous benefit in prolonging retirement plan survival rates in comparison with utilizing a Reverse later or as a last resort.
There are numerous factors pointing to the benefit of establishing a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit early. Two of the most obvious are; the low interests rates available today and the power of the credit line growth rate.
We are in a low interest rate market right now, allowing for the maximum benefit to be realized by borrowers. An increase in the bond market can have a profoundly negative effect on the amount available to the borrower. I recently pointed out to a potential borrower that his available line of credit would decrease by $30,000 with an increase of just 0.5% in the 10 year treasury, $60,000 with an increase of just 1%.* Janet Yellen has announced a tapering of the the Fed's bond buying program. That coupled with our national debt points to increases in interest and bond rates.
The other factor is the Line of Credit growth rate. A Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit grows in "availability" at a rate 1.25% higher than the interest rate on the loan. This growth is guaranteed and can be a tremendous protection for interest rate increases as well as property value decreases. I would be happy to evaluate a scenario and give you specific numbers.
The JFP article concludes with this quote:
Early establishment of an HECM line of credit in the current low interest rate environment is shown to consistently provide higher 30-year survival rates than those shown for the last resort strategies.
