202. Asset Rich But Cashflow Poor
Manage episode 507085932 series 3559707
Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, we dive into the idea of being “asset rich but cash flow poor,” where we might own valuable assets like property or businesses but struggle to generate enough income to support the lifestyle we want. We explore how this imbalance often shows up in retirees holding expensive homes or investment properties that don’t provide sufficient cash flow, forcing tough choices between maintaining assets, downsizing, or finding ways to unlock equity. We talk through the risks of rising living costs, the emotional challenge of wanting to leave a legacy while sacrificing our current lifestyle, and the role that fear plays in decision-making. Ultimately, we emphasize the importance of planning early, getting advice, and finding balance so we can enjoy life without being trapped by our wealth on paper.
Tune in to this episode to learn how we can turn paper wealth into real lifestyle freedom without sacrificing our future.
