I Almost Reverse-Mortgaged My Home. Then I Learned What $1,000 Buys Here.

At 71, divorced and never once having traveled alone in her life, Eleanor Voss sat in a reverse mortgage counseling office with the pen in her hand — and set it down. This is the story of the woman who almost signed away her home's equity to stay exactly where she was, and instead flew to Quezon City alone to find out what a careful, honest life actually costs. This is a dramatized retirement story based on the real trend of Western retirees relocating to the Philippines. Cost figures reflect publicly reported ranges.
