Home equity line of credit could ease retirement cash flow
An 81-year-old divorcee with $72,000 in savings and $24,000 IRA weighs paying off a $65,000 mortgage at 5.75 percent. Replacing the mortgage with a home equity line of credit could cut monthly payments from 411 to about 190, freeing about 221 monthly, but introduces variable rates and risk to savings. Credit unions offer these loans with low costs, though rates may rise.
