For all of those who think it is a good idea to carry debt that you don't need to carry, I hope you never live through a 5+ year recession. I have. I won't carry debt unless it is necessary.
As far as selling your "collateral," good luck with that when the recession hits and no one has any money. As far as withdrawing your savings from your investments when the recession hits, good luck with that when your savings are suddenly 50% of what they were.
Do what you are comfortable doing. I pray that you don't learn a hard lesson.
Where is all this cash you have that is not subject to the same market swings everyone eles diversifies for? Unless buried in coffee cans you still have risk. In fact under your scenario that coffee can money has lost significant purchasing power.
