Video Overview

The writer is 45, runs a factory in Taiwan, and draws a monthly salary. The letter describes NT$4 million in additional mortgage borrowing plus NT$2 million in original principal and a current 6-3-1 allocation. The writer's parents hold about NT$10 million in fixed deposits but do not permit their children to use it, so that money is not available to the household. The question is whether to return to 4-3-3 next year or keep the current mix. The speaker says someone who is still working can reserve one to two years of living expenses and place the remainder in 00662 without necessarily using a leveraged fund. He also presents 5-2-3 or 4-2-4 as higher-cash options and describes 4-3-3 as already aggressive enough without moving to 6-3-1.

Key Takeaways

  • The 45-year-old factory owner has mortgage debt, uses a 6-3-1 allocation, and worries that the cash share is too low.
  • The parents' roughly NT$10 million fixed deposit is unavailable to the children and therefore should not be counted as usable household capital.
  • The speaker suggests one to two years of living expenses, followed by 00662, 5-2-3, or 4-2-4, and sees no need for 6-3-1.

True security is not having no debt, but always having cash on hand

The speaker argues that debt does not eliminate the need for cash because property, investments, and employment can fail together. A 30% cash example and 80% decline scenario test whether forced selling can be avoided.
