## About this assessment

**What does my result mean?**

You get one of three readings. Either a reverse mortgage looks worth exploring, or it should be weighed against another route, or one answer rules it out at the moment. Treat it as a quick first read, never as advice on your own case.

**Are my answers saved anywhere?**

No. They never leave your device, and they are gone as soon as you close the page.
