Episode 075:
Home Equity Fails Liquidity Test
In this episode, I’m going to begin to show you how home equity, paying off your mortgage, fails all four tests of a wise investment. It’s very popular and very comfortable to pay off your mortgage but compared to the alternative way of being debt-free it’s a terrible financial decision. The first test that home equity fails is the Liquidity Test… listen in to hear what I mean.
Included in this episode:
Four Tests of a Wise Investment
“How does it perform as an investment?”
Test 1: Liquidity
- Liquidity = the ability to access your money when you need it the most
- Is home equity liquid?
- The real question is… When is home equity liquid and when is it not liquid?
- What happens if you lose your job?
- What happens if you lose your home?
- Simply put, if you have to ask an insurance company for permission to have your own money, then your money is not liquid
