Description

For most retirees, the house they live in is also their biggest untapped asset. Home equity often sits quietly on paper, doing nothing while retirement savings shrink and costs rise. Yet that same equity can be converted into income and peace of mind — WITHOUT selling the home.


In this episode, I sit down with retirement expert Matt Helton to unpack how home equity could be the key to a better retirement. Matt has helped countless retirees turn their homes into reliable, flexible financial tools — not through risky loans or sales, but through smart planning and modern FHA-backed programs designed to protect homeowners. He explains how these options work, the most common mistakes retirees make, and why fear and misinformation still keep so many people from taking advantage of what’s right in front of them. I learned a lot in this interview, and I think you will too!
