He is 63 and on Social Security disability. I am 55 and work full time. I value your opin- ion. What do you advise? -- Kathy, Missouri Dear Kathy: A reverse mort- gage is a tool that offers a wonder- ful solution for some people who find themselves in a financial pick- le once they no longer are working. But it shouldn't be your first option. To qualify for a reverse mort- gage, you must be at least 62 years old, own your home outright (or owe so little that you could pay it off easily with the proceeds of the reverse mortgage) and be living in the home. Unlike the case with a conventional mortgage, there are no income requirements to get these loans other than proving that you own the property. When the last borrower moves out or dies, the house is sold and the loan becomes due. If there is money left after pay- ing off the reverse mortgage, it will go to your heirs. Generally, you will have access to a portion of your equity (there are formulas based on your age, the market value of the home and so forth), either as a lump sum or as monthly payments to you. You can stay in the house as long as you'd like, even after you have gone through all of the equity available to you, pro- vided you contin- ue to pay the property taxes. Sounds perfect, doesn't it? You get to stay in your home, have access to all that cash equity you've been build- ing up over the years, and make no monthly payments. Before you get too excited, let's look at the drawbacks. could be the ideal solution. Dear Mary: What are your thoughts on purchasing a home warranty? We had one when we bought our home two years ago. I used it once but did not renew it. Is it a wise idea? -- Rebecca, Louisiana Dear Rebecca: I proba- First, the fees and loan costs for a reverse mort- gage can be very high. Next, it is easy to spend through a lot of cash when it appears to be so free and easy. Remember that your expenses could increase dramatically in the years ahead should you require assisted living. Is a reverse mortgage the ideal Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate finance tool for all elders? Not like- ly. However, if things were to get to the point that you are really strapped for cash and healthy enough to care for yourselves in your home, a reverse mortgage bly would purchase a home warranty policy for the first couple of years after purchasing the home, simply because of things that slip past that initial home inspection or cannot be seen. However, after that first contract, I proba- bly would not renew it unless I were aware of things that would be cov- ered and could fail in the future. Do you have a question for Mary?

School fundraiser evening a success Cowboys and cowgirls came together Saturday evening at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center to support Sacred Heart Parish School at Little Reno Night. The annual fundraiser is the biggest of the year for the school. The event raises money with raf- fle tickets, silent and live auc- tions and a progressive jackpot. Chips won at the blackjack tables earned the gamblers a tick- et for the progressive jackpot. There was a $1,000 raffle prize with tickets selling out early in the evening. The big winners were Kristen Hall for the grand raffle prize and Mike and Angie Rector for the progressive jackpot. A big favorite in the live auc- tion is the class art projects. Each class does an art project with fifth grade teacher Susan Silveira and parent volunteers. Each project is professionally labeled, matted and framed.
