I proposed to my wife when she had just graduated from high school. One and a half years after we started dating. Her father was so angry he offered her a credit card and an apartment if she would not marry me. He informed her if she married me she would be on her own and he would not pay for her college (Cal Poly). So we married and I paid for her college from my carpenter's salary. 46 years later that was my best investment

She won't be able to save the 20% down-payment and save for retirement at her age. When she retires she should instead find senior housing that is based on her fixed income.

She somehow got up sold a month later on buying a new version of the exact same car on a new 6 year note… wait, it gets better… About 4 months after that a bank gave her a 30 YEAR MORTGAGE on a new house… I was astounded. But wait, there’s more… flash forward another year or so and our company offered “early retirement” to anyone 55+ with at least 10 years of service. This was not a golden parachute but more like “hey we will pay you 6-8 months salary and health insurance if you leave next week”. Obviously she took it.

If the caller is reading, please look into senior housing in your area. Here in SF I know someone who got a small but nice 1br apt for $500. This is through a city program and the rent is locked in. See if there is a program or lottery for senior housing. Buying a house with few resources at 72 is the all time worst advice I have ever heard! Also like others have mentioned you can collect social security and still work.

@CarlaQuattlebaum
@CarlaQuattlebaum 9 месяцев назад
Maybe Dave's just talking about the mortgage payment itself, as far as being locked into what you'll be spending, but people's homeowners insurance and property tax keep going up, so the monthly housing expense goes up yearly, just like rent. Then homeowners have to worry about the roof needing replacing or HVAC repairs, or plumbing repairs, so I don't see what difference it makes if you're renting or buying. Yes, one day the home will be yours, but homeowners can go through a lot of financial headaches before that day.
@curiouscat3384
@curiouscat3384 9 месяцев назад
Especially at her age. The only reason to buy vs rent is to build equity. In her remaining years she won't accrue enough equity to counter the cost of rent. For younger people though, I can attest to the HUGE value in owning my home in retirement. Yes, inflation is unpredictable for tax/insurance/maintenance but still cheaper in the long run than a mortgage (especially if the house and yard are a modest size). As Dave likes to say about borrowing money, I say "The tenant is the slave to the Landlord" and I don't ever want to be evicted at age 60+ !

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

The last thing on her mind should be buying a house! It sounds a bit wild to jump into a 30-year or 15-year mortgage at her age. It appears that she neglected to prepare or care about retirement in her younger years. Now, at the age of 73, with no savings or 401k, she is talking about 'going hard on paying off debt?' Dave is basically saying, 'Just work hard and pray at this point'.

She understands that a mortgage is better than renting. That's a good thing. If she keeps renting, she'll end up homeless because rents always go up, but mortgages are quite stationary aside from insurance and property taxes. If she moves outside the city, she might get a better deal than the nothing she has right now

​@redfox_84 maintenance is covered but only fixed "if" you have a good decent landlord. There are some major horror stories from renters. I'm personally scared to be a renter ever again. They don't want to fix the ac. Their maintenance workers put holes in the wall supposedly fixing leaks and don't cover the holes. Landlord don't want to release you from the contract you sign. You leave the place immaculate and they still won't return your deposit. Sometimes it's best to not rent and buy just for peace of mind

I might look around at Elder Apartments just as soon as the student loan is paid off. Many of them are subsidized and fixed rent. At least it seems like there's no bunch of credit card bills too.

@@Whoamiiiiiiiiiiii good point. Not sure if there's any safe place to live anymore. At age 53 I finally got out to the "safe burbs" and armed car burglars came around at night to take cars and they fired a warning shot at our neighbor lady who had confronted them. A really nice subdivision had a follow home robbery turn into a murder too. Any safe places now?

Mortgage goes up every year as well as property taxes go up each year in many places equal to the amount that rent goes up. Also, if you rent, you do not have to have emergency funds for home repairs and you can always try and move to a cheaper place if you need to. This is a sad story.

dont be an idiot, getting a 3% mortgage when it was possible for a home is a great idea and will get you into a home asap so you're no longer renting while trying to save up 200k or so for decades to pay cash for a house. i agree with dave on most things but its just asinine to act like a low mortgage rate is a bad thing... this person has no chance of saving up even 100k for a cheap home, but they could have gotten a mortgage when they were low. even at 7% which is awful, you can try to pay down the debt quickly which is better than rent which is money up in smoke, and rent will raise by like 10% every year anyways @@mikenelson8377

I actually knew a woman who was in this exact situation (early 70's, no retirement, student loans, etc). She rented an expensive house and then sublet rooms in the house to help pay her rent. I urged her to move in with a sibling or a close friend, but she wasn't interested. Her situation was very precarious and could go wrong in so many ways...

She may have to work beyond 76 part time, along with her SS. Cut out anything she can. I'm even going to say she needs to use food banks to supplement her food costs. Use any senior program she can. Maybe look at getting on the wait list for hud housing by the time she retires her income will drop enough to qualify. Or look for a living arrangement with an other senior.

Now I'm 25 and I'm about to graduate debt-free with a PhD in chemistry.
