Do you think Sam Seder can win? Or is Destiny just too good at online debate?

Edit - Overall, the debate didn't devolve into shit-slinging and drama. So that's a plus. Both stated their points and the argument essentially centered around Wealth vs Income. I feel Destiny didn't get Sam's point, while Sam got and responded to Destiny's. That could be my bias, though.

    Tbf a 3.5% mortgage on your $25m estate that you then kick over to your hedge fund account is basically free money. I suppose that stretches the definition of "need" though lol.

      How does that amount to virtually free money? (I'm not well versed in rich bastard finance)

          Ah, right, of course. If you're a rich bastard then your hedge fund account's rate of return is going to outpace the 3.5% interest on the mortgage, so you can basically treat it like an interest-free loan. May as well keep the money and the house.

          Anyway, :mao-shining:
