"My friend then asked for some advice. He had interviewed a man over 60 who he considered to be very overqualified...he asked if I would hire the man, I asked him why he hadn’t. I shared some studies of older workers have documented that they tend to be more dependable, take less sick time, are more productive and make better decisions…all frustrations with the current group of younger team members. Not only would his company be benefiting from the wisdom and experience of a seasoned professional, the older candidate could quickly become a role model for younger workers. Since feeling my friend might also be a little concerned the applicant might even be better than him."  Dick Ambrosius

POST 50 Reverse Mortgages

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS  provides a Field Guide to Reverse Mortgages. It is one of the most complete documents we have reviewed and has multiple links and resources. Before making a commitment to a reverse mortgage, The Sage Companion Project recommends readers review the information to be found here.

(Updated September 2014)

"A reverse mortgage can provide cash to homeowners who do not want to move but would like to tap the equity in their home by allowing senior citizens to borrow against the equity, but they can pose risks to homeowners. This page includes articles, books and websites relating to reverse mortgages. "

TWO IDEAS

1. CREATE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ONLINE PRESENCE: If you desire to work independently, we  know a number of Post-50-People who have created a web presence- that can be a source of income. In creating The Sage Companion Project, we used special software to build The Project, so technical matters are not hurdles we face. If you are a creative person, you might appreciate those features and benefits. 

2. TAKE YOUR IDEAS FORWARD- CROWD FUNDING: This is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the Internet.  The crowd funding model is made up of three parts:

1. The project initiator who proposes the idea and/or project to be funded;
2. individuals or groups who support the idea; and a moderating organization (the "platform") that brings the parties together to launch the idea i.e.
3. Kickstarter - the world's largest funding platform for creative projects

Crowd funding examples can include business, film, music, art, theater, games, comics, design, photography, and more. In 2013, the crowd funding industry grew to be over $5.1 billion worldwide.Is Crowd Funding Right for You?
