Episode Your House Is Not An Asset
In this episode, we jumped straight into a conversation that has been coming up constantly from your questions and DMs after our recent finance episodes together.
In this episode we're talking about:
•
Why your home is a liability, not an asset — and what that actually means for your retirement
•
The only real ways to access equity in your home (hint: none of them are as simple as people think)
•
The 4% rule and why it's not as bulletproof as it sounds — especially when the market drops
•
Why paying your mortgage weekly (not monthly) can save you thousands in interest over time
•
The real cost of owning a home that most people never factor in — property taxes, maintenance, improvements, and yes, even perennials
•
Why real estate investing isn't the passive income goldmine it once was
•
The difference between building wealth as an employee vs. as a self-employed person
•
Diversifying your portfolio beyond real estate — second mortgages, private equity, RRSPs, TFSAs
•
Why your health and your wealth are completely interconnected — you cannot have one without the other
•
The reality of senior care costs and why planning ahead (way ahead) matters more than you think
•
What it looks like to actually get paid to learn about finances and help others — and why so many people from every walk of life are making the switch
Let's dive in!
