When is a
Reverse Mortgage Right?
By Michael Branson
 Since
first offering reverse mortgages, I've often
been asked, How do I/we know if a reverse
mortgage is right for me/us? This is a
question that has a different answer for
different people. I always start with the
same first response, The first thing I would
recommend is that you seek the guidance of a
qualified financial advisor. After having
given that advice, I am only too happy to go
through the circumstances for the individual
borrowers and give them their options.

According to the U.S. Census, Americans
are turning 50 at the rate of 1 every
7.5 seconds, and living longer too. In
the recent past, most of them would have
relied on employer-funded pensions and
Social Security to finance their
post-career years. Not anymore: today,
the majority of people contemplating
retirement must actively plan for—and
then provide for—their own financial
futures.
AARP, the most trusted organization for
Americans over 50, can help readers
accomplish that goal. Featuring
easy-to-follow explanations and a wealth
of real-life examples, AARP Crash Course
in Creating Retirement Income helps
readers take advantage of every
available tool to make their retirement
years the best of their lives.

The 10
Rules for Successful Tax-free Income
Investing
By Ulli Niemann
 Do
you sometimes question the performance of
your investment portfolio? If you are like
most investors you have your income
producing assets thrown in together with
your equity portfolio. You look at the total
mix of dividend paying stocks, bonds, mutual
funds and equities, and you’re confused as
to why they’re not producing enough income
or growing your portfolio value
sufficiently.
I have found that part of the reason is the
nearly universal propensity of investors to
ignore the long-term implications of their
income investment decisions while they focus
on short-term effects.

Will Your
Money Survive Your Retirement?
By Marc
Cram
I t
seems like only a few short years ago no
one was worried about retirement. The
stock market was roaring, home prices
were rising and the economy was in solid
shape. Everything looked rosy and many

gives you pause; "Dancing Bears at Your
Retirement Party", "Americans Delay
Retirement As Housing, Stocks Swoon",
"Savers Feel Pinch of Tight Credit",
"Sales of Triangle Homes Off Again",
"Government Benefit Programs in
Trouble", and the list goes on.
