OK, I get it now. Somebody started a volunteer group to clean homes and run errands for the elderly. Since this sort of volunteer work is low on your list, you became incensed with the idea and decided the elderly should take out reverse mortgages or move.
I am not incensed but it seems to be a hot button for you. I do think was weird for someone I don't know to contact me and try to convince me to to clean houses for free for millionaires living in 4+ bedroom houses.
Most of our friends and many posters on this forum who wanted more cash for retirement downsized or moved to lower cost of living areas. Just changing school districts here to lower rated schools and moving a few blocks can mean ~$300K difference in home prices. Some of our neighbors have moved when their kids entered or graduated from public schools. I would do that before I would solicit strangers to clean my house for me for free. The city already has free transportation for seniors for errands and medical appointments.
