Can I use my home equity (overwaarde) for my retirement?

Yes, the equity (overwaarde) built up in your home can play a role in retirement, for example by releasing equity (overwaarde opnemen), downsizing, or using a paid-off home to lower your living costs later. The best approach depends on your wider financial and pension picture. Because releasing equity raises your mortgage, the long-term effect is worth weighing.
