Lindsay expects her current house to appreciate significantly by the time her children leave home (within approximately 2 years of the video's publication), allowing her to downsize and use the accumulated equity to substantially fund her retirement.
"if I can hold on as long as I can it will appreciate more so I'm going to have a bigger you know contribution from my house towards my retirement too because once I downsize I'm not going to need all the money from the house you know I'm not going to need a property this size when I when my kids are gone so it also becomes a retirement piece because hopefully it will have appreciated enough to contribute to my retirement too."
