Mary Ann, a 78-year-old widow, had spent decades building a life in the comfort of her home. But as her monthly mortgage payment continued to weigh on her fixed retirement income, the freedom to visit her children and grandchildren - especially during the holidays - felt increasingly out of reach.

"I felt stuck," she said. "The house was mine, but I couldn't afford to live the life I worked so hard for."

After exploring her options, Mary Ann discovered the reverse mortgage - a tool to turn her home equity into freedom.

What Did Mary Ann Do?

With guidance, Mary Ann set up a reverse mortgage that allowed her to:

• Eliminate her $1,000/month mortgage payment, improving her monthly cash flow.
• Unlock $135,000 in a growing line of credit that she can access whenever she needs.
• Choose a payment strategy that works for her lifestyle:
  ➤ She makes voluntary payments for 8 months of the year,
  ➤ And skips payments during the 4 holiday months so she can afford travel, gifts, and joyful time with her family.

💡 The Results

• No more required monthly mortgage payment
• Financial flexibility and peace of mind
• More time and connection with family
• A home that supports her lifestyle - instead of limiting it

"I finally feel like I'm living again. I get to visit my grandkids, spoil them a little, and enjoy my retirement on my own terms."

What This Means for You or a Loved One

A reverse mortgage isn't about giving something up - it's about gaining control. Just like Mary Ann, thousands of seniors are using home equity as a strategic tool to:

• Eliminate mortgage payments
• Create monthly income
• Establish emergency funds or lines of credit
• Age in place with greater peace of mind
