Oh, I won't ever really benefit much from this. It's just more numbers on my net worth. I will literally never need to liquidate these assets.
In fact, even spending what I have been spending, I'm still making more money than I spend. Well, on paper I am... I don't actually convert much of it to money. Money is a liquid asset and I don't need much in the way of liquid assets. If I need money, it's cheaper for me to take a loan and spend someone else's money than it is to spend my own.
I think it's works out to be cheaper for everyone when they spend other peoples money
Well except for the person who's money you're spending!
It depends on your credit, really. They know I can pay back any loans, so my interest rate is at the most, for most loans, less than 4%. It's often lower.
If you have shitty credit, you'll have like an 18% interest rate (more on a credit card). So, if your assets are making 7 to 13% and your credit's interest rate is higher than that, it's best to spend your own money.
LoL I figure its best to not spend any money when you're in that situation!
