Just wondering if anyone here that’s not a billionaire or super rich is ACTUALLY using this method of leveraging loans agains owned assets to cover living expenses tax free.

Cheers !!!

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.
