“I know that my Grandmother got one many years ago when they were first offered and it has saved her home and her life. Of course I’m sure the bank didn’t expect her to live to be 93.”

They have something similar to RMs in France. About 15 years ago, I remember reading a newsarticle about a 40-year-old businessman who purchased a house from a childless, 76-year-old widow. 30-odd years later, he’s dead and the widow was alive and well. I think she didn’t die until she was well over 100.
