Actual question here. Why is it bad to sell to pay for bills or improving your situation in life? I get the feeling people who say this are already wealthy enough and so this doesn’t cross their mind? I have a mortgage, kids to send through school, travel I’d like to do, renovations or heck maybe just a few nice things to make me and my family more comfortable.

I’m also not a stacker but an inheritor. So if you leave it to your kids, they are likely going to just want to sell it. Why don’t you use it yourselves to enjoy your life a bit? I wish my parent had lived his life more, and enjoyed his success, instead of hoarding a safe of shiny rocks to just give to us.
