Most Canadians spend decades building equity in their homes… but what if that equity could actually work for you during retirement instead of sitting untouched?

In this episode, Annie and Paula break down reverse mortgages in Canada — what they are, who qualifies, how they work, and why they’re becoming part of bigger conversations around retirement planning, aging in place, and generational wealth.

This isn’t about “good” or “bad.” It’s about understanding a financial tool that many Canadians misunderstand.

We discuss:

• What a reverse mortgage actually is

• Who qualifies in Canada

• Common myths and misconceptions

• The pros, risks, and long-term considerations

• Strategic ways homeowners are using home equity

• Helping children and grandchildren earlier in life

• Aging in place and retirement flexibility

• What happens when the loan becomes due

• The “end game” and estate implications

Whether you’re planning for retirement, helping aging parents navigate options, or simply wanting to understand alternative wealth strategies, this episode offers a practical and educational conversation around one of Canada’s most misunderstood financial products.
