No, I'm not.
Oh I'm completely game for it. Honestly I just don't want to go line by line through it. I read Dave Ramsey's spill over them and laughed, honestly. Some of it is somewhat correct, but it's like a car salesman saying, "oh you can have this car, but you're gonna have to keep air in the tires, put gas in it, get regular maintenance, keep insurance on it because you could be in a crash, you also may get ticketed if you exceed the speed limit, you might have to pay for parking in some parking lots, it could possibly rust and you'll need a warranty because it may not make it 100,000 miles."
So obviously owning a car is a bad idea.

So do you do reverse mortgages with no fees, or low fees where the buyer (broker) pays mortgage fees just like a regular house buyer would? I guess my question is, how does the reverse mortgage broker get rich? Off the sale of the home when they finally take possession of it? Or off the fees they charge the elderly/terminally ill person?
Seems like a legal scam to me. I understand the attractive nature of the scheme. Get money now, just like J.G. Wentworth gives you on your trust or annuity. But who really benefits the most here? The seller or the buyer? Somehow I envision that it's the buyer. I guess if I was terminally ill and had no heirs it might be worth the high price, but I'm sure it wouldn't be a pleasant choice to make.
This is a straw man argument.
No, it's a great illustration of David Ramsey's "summary."
Where's the David Ramsey alternatives? I seemed to have missed those. What's his solution, to say the scenario I posted above about the couple wanting to continue to live in their home? What's his solution?
