Jack and Jill recently moved from the UAE to Australia and want a sanity check on using margin loans (AKA pledge loans) to build and live off their portfolio. Joe and Big Al spitball whether borrowing against stocks and never paying tax on the gains, the Buy Borrow Die strategy, is smart, or a fast way to blow yourself up. They also recap the spicy comments on the episode 585 margin loan discussion. Then the fellas flip the script for Forest and Jenni in Virginia: does a reverse glide path, investing conservatively now and getting more aggressive as you age, actually hold up? And finally, Jack and Diane in New Jersey are retiring this year, selling the house, and moving to Florida, so Joe and Big Al stress-test their Roth conversion plan before they pull the trigger. We're making fun of finance over here on YMYW, the financial planning podcast that won't put you to sleep. Tell a friend.
