Food

Preparing, eating and perhaps even growing your own delicious food is one of life's most satisfying pleasures. Many of us have come to take this simple pleasure more seriously with age. You may enjoy getting out of the house and exploring new restaurants with your friends or family. Or taking control of your culinary experience from the solitude of your own kitchen can be a truly meditative experience. Discover some of the joys of cooking that you may have missed over the years and try your hand at a few special recipes.

The Joys of Cooking

Cooking is more than a Hobby.

Never let it be said that you no longer cook (unless there are extenuating circumstances). So many former cooks have announced, "Kitchen is Closed." But they are missing out on one of the most rewarding pursuits that we seniors can enjoy.

Cooking in the solitude of your own kitchen, whether it be out-of-date and weary or streamlined and up-to-date, can bring joy untold. You can turn on some beautiful music, spend some time in prayer (not necessarily for what you're cooking), plan imaginary trips to exotic lands far away, replay that bridge hand that you went set on the other day, compose the first draft of that poem you've had in your head for so long, watch the birds outside your window, and you can... well, of course, cook.

Reverse Mortgages

Why is this Home Mortgage so Popular with Seniors?

Requirements:

Own a home
Be 62 years of age
have enough equity

You may have heard the phrase, "reverse mortgage," used at some time by friends, family, former co-workers or your financial advisors. Seemingly straightforward, the phrase denotes a unique type of homeowner's loan that has become increasingly popular among seniors. So popular, in fact, that the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association (NRMLA) reported a growth of 77% in reverse mortgage loans for 2006.

Simply put, a reverse mortgage is a loan that allows homeowners, 62 or older, to borrow against the equity in their home�without having to take on new monthly mortgage payments, give up title to, or sell their homes.
