FINANCIAL OPTIONS

When it comes to the baby-boom generation, it pays to be old.

The first of the boomers began reaching normal retirement age in 2008, and those who have already gone through the process probably are in better shape financially than their boomer brethren who will be retiring in the future.

In fact, it might seem as if the deck is stacked against younger boomers, who range in age from 53 to 62. For one, they are less likely to have a traditional pension than older boomers. If they are helping their children pay for college, they are facing far higher tuition costs than older boomers. And then there are their parents. As people live longer, younger boomers are more likely to have to help support their parents in old age than boomers who came before them. 

Compass & Clock is here to help set you on a stronger path to retirement. The goal is to outlive your money. Whether you want to learn about the new hybrid Long-Term Care Insurance policy or how to turn the equity in your home into income through a Reverse Mortgage - we're here to help you start preplanning today for a financially-sound tomorrow.

​

A great place to start would be reviewing the below Financial Solutions Assessments sheet below, and then feel free to reach out to any of our Compass & Clock experts in our online directory following the tip sheet.

REAL ESTATE ADVISING & PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

A real estate advisor's primary role is to help you maximize your real estate investments. This means they are constantly evaluating the market, new trends and technologies, zoning and other influencing factors to help you take advantage of market shifts. 

Property management is the oversight of real estate by a third party. Property managers are generally responsible for the day-to-day operations of the real estate, from screening tenants to arranging for repairs and maintenance.

REVERSE MORTGAGE SPECIALISTS

A reverse specialist will help educate you on how a reverse mortgage is a way to turn the equity in your home into cash which is usually tax free without having to make monthly mortgage payments. Instead of monthly payments, the loan is taken against a senior’s (62 or older) home equity and repaid in one lump sum when the last borrower leaves the home. As part of the loan, the borrower is required to continue paying property taxes, insurance and maintenance (and HOA fees, if applicable). These loans can potentially help seniors gain financial independence from increasing living expenses.
