Most people view debt as something to be avoided at all costs. But that's because most people don't use debt properly. A prime example of improper debt use is the credit card. People charge too much, fail to pay the card in full at the end of the month, then find themselves unable to pay down the debt without also paying exceedingly high interest, often for years.

And setting up an SBLOC will make it more challenging to move those collateralized assets to a different firm.
As an example of how SBLOCs can benefit you, suppose you need $75,000 for a one-time purchase of a car or a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. A typical way to acquire it would be to sell assets in a retirement account. That presents a number of drawbacks:
First, your income for that year would increase by $75,000 and could put you in a
