@casper.capital: How the Rich Avoid Paying Taxes ⤵️ 1️⃣ Buy Assets • Examples: Watches, stocks, real estate, or businesses • Purpose: These assets appreciate (go up) in value over time • Details: The wealthy focus on building assets instead of cash because assets can grow tax-deferred 2️⃣ Borrow Against Them • Strategy: Take out loans using assets as collateral • Why: Selling assets triggers taxes, but borrowing does not • Details: Cash borrowed from loans is tax-free since no sale occurs 3️⃣ Let Assets Keep Growing • Assets continue to appreciate (go up) while the loan is being used • The interest paid on the loan is often less than the asset’s growth • Details: This allows the rich to live off borrowed money while getting wealthier 4️⃣ Die and Pass It On • When they die, their assets transfer to their heirs • The heirs receive a “step-up basis” meaning the asset’s value resets to its market price • Result: No capital gains taxes owed by the heirs This entire cycle is known as the Buy, Borrow, Die strategy.
