Holmer and his wife never did move out of the condo, nor did they ever go to visit Jake at his new place. A few of his wife’s children chipped in and bought the condo, relieving them of all that debt. They let Holmer and his wife stay there for free. Their financial troubles, however, were far from over. Even after their reverse mortgage funds dried up, they kept traveling and buying fresh flowers, getting regular manicures and pedicures, and putting it all on one credit card after another. Their debts kept climbing.
