Your House Is Not An Asset

Category: Health

Description:

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!
