The last four shows have proven that home equity fails every test of a wise investment and that no one can say that paying off your mortgage is a conservative strategy. So, if you are not going to pay off your mortgage, where should you be storing/building up your home equity? This episode will introduce you to the concept of the Equity Savings Account. We need a place to store home equity that is Liquid, Safe, earning a good Rate of Return and provides Tax Deductions. I found it!

This is the final episode of the four episodes where I show that home equity fails ALL of the tests of a wise and good investment. Besides failing the Liquidity Test, The Safety Test and The Rate of Return Test home equity also hurts you on your taxes, causing you to pay more than you should, so it fails The Tax Treatment Test. Listen to this final episode and then in future episodes I'll show you where my clients have been safely storing their home equity for over eleven years now.

What's the rate of return you earn on your home equity? Did you say "Oh, over the last 30 years homes appreciated about 5-7%" or something like that? You just made a mistake that's costing you thousands of dollars per year and causing you to carry unnecessary risk. Homes appreciate but the dollars you store INSIDE of your home (Home Equity) has no rate of return. At best you are saving the net cost of a tax-deductible mortgage payment which might be 2.8%-3% in 2016. Listen in to hear why home equity fails the rate or return test and what to do about it.

Is it prudent to think that the market, and our economy, will behave in exactly the same way as two thirds of the work force retires, stops putting money into the stock market and begins to take it out? Is there a chance that the financial "weather" we've experienced as the Baby Boomers saved for retirement may change as they take all of that money out of the market to spend in retirement?
