It's a rough time. As we all get on in years our income slowly turn into fixed income and it's gets very difficult to make the mortgage payments on time.

You can downsize and move into a smaller home or condo. This can be a good thing for some people, but it's not for everyone. After all, you've been in your home for years and most people won't even consider moving.

The best solution can be to get a reverse mortgage. If you are at least 62 years old, have a good amount of equity in your home and want to get out of the vicious circle of payments, then a reverse mortgage can be for you. Even if you only pay off your mortgage it's still your best option. Sometimes you can pay off your mortgage and even have a little left over. This way the bank won't own your home when you die should the loan come due. This is the best option to consider.
