💰 Cash is King… But Why?

You’ve probably heard this before:

👉 “Cash is king.”

But in 2026, this saying hits harder than ever.

Because right now…

👉 Money is expensive.

And most people don’t fully understand what that means.

🧠 What Does “Money is Expensive” Actually Mean?

Let’s break it down simple:

When interest rates go up…

👉 Borrowing money costs more
👉 Monthly payments increase
👉 Qualification becomes harder

In short:

💸 The same loan now costs you MUCH more

📉 Real Example (Simple Math)

Let’s say:

• Mortgage: $600,000
• Rate before: 2%
• Rate now: 5%

👉 Your payment can jump by $1,000+/month

Same house.
Same person.
Different rate.

🏦 Why This Is Happening in Canada

Right now in Canada:

• Interest rates are still elevated
• Inflation has cooled, but not fully
• Lenders are more strict

👉 This means:

✔ Banks are cautious
✔ Borrowers are stressed
✔ Deals require strategy

💡 Why Cash Gives You Power

When money is expensive…

👉 Cash becomes powerful.

Because:

1. 💪 Stronger Buying Power

Buyers with more cash:

• Get better approvals
• Can negotiate better deals

2. 🏡 Lower Monthly Payments

More down payment = less loan

👉 Less stress every month

3. ⚡ Faster Decisions

Cash-ready buyers can:

• Move quickly
• Beat competition

🧠 But Here’s the Twist (Important)

Cash is king…

👉 But strategy is KING of kings.

Because holding cash without a plan?

❌ You lose to inflation
❌ You miss opportunities
❌ You stay stuck
