I think its a game super rich people play to reduce adjusted gross income for tax purposes.
One borrows money from assets like Real Estate and Stock to live on.
Borrowed money puts cash into your hands to spend but there is no income registered.

Low income then qualifies you for federal assistance. (Lower taxable income, Lower medicare, Lower ACA premium, SS not taxable and you might even qualify for SNAP).

If you have enough money, this borrowing against your assets will never present as a problem.

Personally, I don't think this strategy would be practical or comfortable for either of us as we might not be rich enough nor needy enough.
