If the rate of growth of your assets exceeds your rate of spending by enough to handle volatility, then later on you have significantly more assets to borrow against. As long as the net value of the position grows fast enough, you can kick this can down the road indefinitely. The loan gets paid back after you die, when you no longer owe capital gains taxes on the proceeds.
