@nftgonza@ToolySOL An ilit or irrevocable life insurance trust can circumvent this and provide a pay out for liquidity or if there is other cash assets the successor trustee would obviously pay loan with cash and step up the appreciated securities.
@JohnCenaMao@ToolySOL He pays 5% interest per year or 5k per year , so after 10 years he owes 1 mil and 50k worth of interest he never paid.
Patriarch passes away with 2 mil in sp500, heir inherits tax free due to step up, pays off 1.05 mil keeps 950k and patriarch spent 1 mil while alive.
@JohnCenaMao@ToolySOL Patriarch invests 1 mil in sp500 and earns 10% per year. 100k in earnings per year will be 2 mil in year 10.
Instead of selling down 100k per year to use as income he borrows 100k from the same investment bank he has the 1 mil invested in the sp500.
@GG_Jayce@NBABrightBoy2@RolfOptions I agree, but to each their own. This individual seems to be novice when he doesn't even believe your original post. So paying an etf expense ratio to effectively do the same for him may be more appropriate.
Broke people: I want a Ferrari.
Average people: I want a Tesla.
Upper middle class people: I want new truck.
Wealthy people: Give me a paid-off Toyota and $1 million invested.
..It's funny how the richer you get, the less you care about looking rich.
@DavidTDrury@3KComeback I was thinking the same, you can generate about 150k in passive income from the million while you build a business that generates more income and more equity, and you own your time entirely.
@SCHDaccumulator Yes! Contributions can be taken back without taxes or penalties. It's anything above Roth 401k match that you prioritize taxable brokerage.
@GrizMeta Yes, I retired from corporate America with almost 1.5 mil liquid saved and only need 500k to maintain sufficient cash flow to pay for expenses. Married, 1 child, mortgage paid for, travel.
