Video Overview

After annual income rises to about NT$1.5 million, the writer takes a NT$1.2 million personal loan at 3% and considers buying 00670L, borrowing roughly 10% against the portfolio to create about NT$600,000 in cash, and rebalancing toward 442. The writer also hopes eventually to live in Florence and estimates annual expenses of NT$800,000 to NT$900,000. A second question compares selling the home now for estimated proceeds of NT$3.5 million with waiting until 2027 in hopes of receiving about NT$7 million. The speaker proposes beginning with a 433 or 424 allocation and increasing risk only after assets and tolerance grow. For pledged borrowing, he sets cash exceeding the debt as a condition. Home values, gains, and safety assessments remain case-specific estimates and opinions.

Key Takeaways

  • The writer borrows NT$1.2 million at 3% and considers 00670L, borrowing about 10% against the portfolio, and building a 442 allocation.
  • The home-sale comparison is approximately NT$3.5 million now versus hoped-for proceeds of NT$7 million in 2027, alongside plans for Florence.
  • The speaker proposes starting with 433 or 424 and treats cash exceeding pledged debt as a condition for managing decline risk.

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.
