It's All About Lifestyle
Everyone is different so the needs will be different.
LIFESTYLE and WORKING PAST RETIREMENT
Many seniors are continuing to work past retirement age these days. Lifestyle is defined as your typical way of life, but lifestyle and what that means from one person to the next can vary greatly. If you've been depending on social security or a pension and won't have enough money for a comfortable retirement, a reverse mortgage may offer some options. If you are financially comfortable but want to leverage the equity in your home rather that exhausting your portfolio, a reverse mortgage might be worth considering.

Non-Recourse Feature of Reverse Mortgages
What is a non-recourse loan? The house stands for the debt.
Because the HECM loan does not require any monthly mortgage payments, it is called a rising debt loan or a rising balance loan, the opposite of a typical mortgage where you make monthly mortgage payments and the balance does down. For this reason, the reverse mortgage balance can potentially end up higher than the value of your home. However, written into the HECM transaction is an important safeguard called "non-recourse." Simply put, the house stands for the debt. You can never owe more than the home is worth no matter the balance.
You are NOT personally responsible for the reverse mortgage debt nor are your heirs.
Non-recourse debt is a type of loan secured by collateral which is usually real property. In the case of mortgages, the collateral is your home. A reverse mortgage is a loan in which the lender may look only to the property for repayment of the debt even IF what is owed the lender is more than what the home is worth. Also with a reverse mortgage, none of your assets can be used to satisfy the reverse mortgage debt. The reverse mortgage closing documents state clearly that the borrower has no personal liability for the reverse mortgage debt: THE HOME STANDS FOR THE DEBT. THE HOME IS THE ONLY COLLATERAL.
HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE DEED OF TRUST - Section 11:
"No Deficiency Judgment. Borrower shall have no personal liability for payment of the debt secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may enforce the debt only through sale of the Property. Lender shall not be permitted to obtain a deficiency judgment against Borrower if the Security Instrument is foreclosed. If this Security Instrument is assigned to the Commissioner upon demand by the Commissioner, Borrower shall not be liable for any difference between the mortgage insurance benefits paid to Lender and the outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, owed by Borrower at the time of the assignment."

Use Your Home's Equity and Enjoy Your Life
Home Equity = Your Retirement Plan
Piggy banks serve one purpose, to give back what we have saved over time. Did you ever think of your home as a piggy bank? Well, it is. It is your home's equity that you have "saved" over time which is available to you as your retirement plan". Why not use your home as your personal retirement plan and let your home work for you? Whatever your reason for examining reverse mortgages, your retirement plan might be wrapped up in your home. You just need to use it! You decide.
