The method is fuelled by having assets that you can borrow against to fund your living expenses that are either:
* continually increasing in value, so you can keep borrowing more and more against them, or
* so large you can keep borrowing more against them and never run out of value against which to borrow.
Needless to say, this is not true for 99.9% of us. If you try this technique without such assets, all you are doing is burning through your equity and when it comes time to pay interest and/or principal, you will have nothing.
