About sagetips

As I near my own retirement as a corporate finance director and pension manager, I've developed a strong interest in two areas of personal finance that I believe will become increasingly important to baby-boomers: reverse mortgages for retirees and HELOC loans. My educational background includes a masters degree in public finance.
