Allan and his wife did this 10 years ago to secure their financial future and it changed their lives in many positive ways. They realized their home equity was really their saving, their piggy bank, to use or not use, but would give them peace of mind knowing it was available if and when needed.   Allan is a retired corporate VP of a Houston Fortune 500 company, has owned several businesses and was asked to help other senior homeowners by sharing his story which has been doing for the past 6 years.   He often says he is like the Rogaine guy with hair because he is living proof that the personal story he is sharing is what possibly can be a path for other senior homeowners who are concerned about outliving their money. How can they continue to meet the increasing cost of most everything including medical needs, food, taxes, health, and long-term care insurance, and unanticipated expenses are surely on the horizon as seniors age, especially those with a fixed income and shrinking savings. ______________________________________________________________ Contact Kim Hegwood- Elder Law Attorney Website: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourlegacylegalcare/ Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/YourLegacyLegalCare LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourlegacylegalcare/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@yourlegacylegalcare   Your Legacy Legal Care 1150 Clear Lake City Blvd., Suite 100 Houston, TX 77062
