Many seniors dream of leaving the workforce, relaxing at home, and enjoying their retirement.

But could your home be more than just a place to kick back, relax, and spend your time? Could it also help with retirement planning?

This retirement strategy, like all others, depends on your situation, finances, and of course, where you stand with your home and mortgage.
