    This is what the capitalist’s reverse mortgage scams they advertise 24/7 on Fox News are for.

    And what a quintessentially stereotypical boomer thing to do too, basically leaving their paid off home to a bank for a pittance instead of their kid because fuck everything and everyone once they’re dead.

    “Burn my trees upon death so no one can sit under them, and salt the Earth so no others can grow. Everything was mine and it’s no fair I can’t take it with me to supply side heaven.”

      Regardless of the clear predation of the reverse mortgage industry, you realize they have to get the equity out of their house or they’ll starve to death, right?

      The problem is the system itself, not elderly people who need to make ends meet.
