Episode notes
You Don’t Inherit Parents’ Debt
- You do not inherit another person's unsecured debt; their assets pay creditors at death.
- Do not pay for a parent's life insurance solely to shield you from their irresponsible borrowing.
Fix An Overconcentration In Home Equity
- If a large share of net worth is your home, pay the mortgage off quickly to rebalance your asset mix.
- Temporarily stop buying more personal consumption until investments catch up.
Keep Retirement, Don't Cash Out For A Cabin
- Don’t withdraw retirement savings to build a cabin; keep retirement intact and rent or delay the purchase.
- Preserve retirement growth rather than trading long-term security for a short-term asset.
