It's too hard to say at this point because I don't know where we are going to be 5 years, 10 years from now. As it sits currently, I just look at the equity in our home as a "soft" number that changes constantly and really only matters when I sell it. And when we do, that equity could just get rolled into another house for all I know. Right now the soft plan for retirement is to build a home on our farm in VA, which conceivably could be paid for in large part if I play the equity game with a few more homes. So yeah, I guess I'm looking at "house money" as house money for right now. No plans to be traveling gypsies when we are retired, we will definitely have a home base so I can walk out into my back yard in my boxers and hit golf balls into the field.
