Seniors Born Between 1941-1979 Can Receive These 14 Benefits This Month
You could be missing out on $1,000s, and you might not even realize it.
Sure, you might know about some senior discounts at diners or retail stores. But what you might not know is there are a number of lesser-known programs that can help slash bills, reduce insurance costs, and unlock powerful financial perks — right now.
NOSTALGIA
Boomer parents often like to tell their kids that “they wouldn’t last a week in the ’60s,” and the kids will no doubt brush it off. It’s true, though – life in the 1960s ran at a completely different pace, and much of it would leave younger generations running for their therapists. (Source: GlobeGrazers)

Could Your Home Pay for Long-Term Care?
Many of us dream about growing old comfortably in the home we love. But as care needs increase, so do the costs, often reaching over $5,000 a month for in-home assistance. If you’re 62 or older, a reverse mortgage can offer a practical solution by turning home equity into tax-free cash (without giving up ownership or moving out). That means you can stay in familiar surroundings, get the care you need, and preserve your independence – all on your terms. To qualify for a reverse mortgage, you must meet the following requirements:
You must be at least 62 years old.
You must own your home outright or have a low remaining mortgage balance that can be paid off at closing with reverse mortgage proceeds.
The home must be your primary residence (not a second home or rental property).
Eligible properties include single-family homes, FHA-approved condos, townhomes, and certain multi-unit properties (up to 4 units, as long as you live in one).
You must demonstrate the ability to pay property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance costs.
You must complete a HUD-approved reverse mortgage counseling session to ensure you understand the loan terms and implications.
