Join us in this week’s episode, as Nate Scott explores the concept of "infinite banking", what it is and why it works. Beyond being a financial strategy, infinite banking encourages individuals to rethink their approach to money, transforming it from a passive asset into an active tool that can be strategically leveraged to build wealth, ensure financial security, and leave a lasting legacy.
The premise of infinite banking is based on the belief that mutual life insurance companies and banks have a similar business model, but mutual life insurance companies exist to benefit policyholders, while banks exist to benefit shareholders.
Nate discusses the unique features of whole life insurance policies, such as tax-free growth, policy loans, uninterrupted compounding, and the potential for passive income. By understanding and embracing the core principles of infinite banking, listeners gain the knowledge and perspective needed to take charge of their financial futures.

Retirement accounts like 401Ks and IRAs are staples of traditional financial planning. But what if they aren't all they're cracked up to be?
In this episode, Nate lays out three compelling reasons to reconsider retirement accounts…
First, they kill creativity. Money locked away can't be used for entrepreneurial endeavors with more potential.
Second, retirement accounts breed uncertainty. Your money is vulnerable to unpredictable market swings and future tax policy changes.
Finally, their rates of return are insignificant. Especially after fees, retirement accounts may inch your money forward at a less-than-inspiring pace. If you want to maximize control and minimize uncertainty, it may be time to rethink retirement planning.
This episode will have you look at retirement accounts in a new light.

In this episode, we discuss what we can all learn about the right ways and the wrong ways to build sustainable wealth in light of the recent GameStop fiasco.
The GameStop stock price has been on a tear, going wild for the past couple of weeks, increasing value by orders of magnitude. It was all based on a Reddit forum, essentially seeing that the Wall Street gurus were all shorting GameStop. They were shorting it because they thought that GameStop would lose a bunch of value. The company was experiencing a challenging time navigating as a business due to the results of the pandemic. GameStop is a video game retail outlet that mainly lives in malls, a type of retail outlet walloped by the pandemic.
We share our thoughts on the big takeaways from the events.

In this episode, we discuss what Ron Paul calls, "The biggest financial bubble in the history of mankind," and how you can survive the next financial disaster.
~ Get resources and transcripts from this episode by visiting:
https://livingwealth.com/e49
This bubble is built on the fact that the U.S. debt to spending ration is completely out of balance. Basically, we're not doing anything to reduce our debt, but we also just keep spending, and spending, and spending.
The U.S. debt to spending ration is more than merely bad budgeting, though. It also impacts the stock market. Most of us would probably agree that the market is overpriced right now. It's inflated, it's a bubble as they would say. Even though most of us have this feeling that, "Okay, it's true that markets go up, they go down. Ride them out and up, then it crashes, then you ride it back up." Most of us are aware that it's been 10 years since the last major crash, the last major correction. That's a long time in the world of stock markets continue without a major correction.
The question most of us are wondering is why did the market recover and reach all these new time highs, and how are we able to sustain all this debt? Then the bigger question, "What can we do to insulate and protect ourselves?"

We discuss when it makes sense to stop paying premiums towards your whole life policy when you're using it as a banking tool. We'll also share why you'll probably have to change your perspective on the word "premium" if you want to be successful at IBC.
The trouble comes in when people viewer their whole life insurance policy as just another insurance. If I make a $500 payment towards car insurance, home insurance, and different things, we all know I have less money the next day. I'm poorer now.
But IBC is actually a different type of premium payment. The money doesn't vanish into someone else's pocket.
We need to change the way we see these premiums from adding into the payment side of the budget to the asset side of the budget. Then you get to see what happens when you pay the premiums.

The 401(k) match is probably the most common tool used by Americans today as they try to save for the future. But is it right for you? In this episode, we will discuss the many questions to ask yourself to decide if it is a good fit for you. Your home may need a new home.

https://livingwealth.com/e46/
People ask us almost every day what they should I do with their 401(k). The answer is not a black or white. It requires asking critical questions that will help you make the right decision for your circumstances.
There are several inherent problems with the 401(k). However, the main redeeming factor in them is the employer match.
But most of the people we've spoken with on a daily basis are only doing this because everybody else is doing it. And they don't know what else to do. The truth is this: Most people know little to nothing about what's going on with the money inside their 401(k).
Questions to Ask about 401(k): * Why are you doing the 401(k) and is it something you genuinely believe is best for you? * Is it giving you a false sense of security? * Is the match really a good deal? * Do you believe taxes are going to go up or down over the next 10 to 20 years? * How high are the fees compared to other tools? * How well does the mutual fund the 401(k) perform relative to the rest of the market? * Is the marketing going to continue going up or is it due for another recession? * Are you willing to lock up your money where it's practically inaccessible for the foreseeable future? * Is the number you see in your account the real dollar figure or does it change drastically when taxes and fees are calculated?

There are a ton of questions parents ask themselves when thinking about paying for their child's college tuition. What are some things we can avoid when we send our kids to college? How do we pay for this and not go bankrupt in the process?
And merely to send them to med school, it can cost up to $2.6 million in some situations. This is putting your kid through college, med school, and specialty. Now that doesn't mean you will have all that debt, but they're going to graduate with a lot of debt.
It is possible in the world we live in today to have this kind of debt when they graduate. And we as parents want nothing more than to have our kids succeed, be successful, and to pursue those dreams they want to do.
But at what cost? Every year it's getting more and more and more expensive.

We're often asked, "How do I actually be financially free and what does that mean?"
The simple truth is this: financial freedom can mean different things to different people. And we often try to put ourselves in a box by judging ourselves against what somebody else is doing.
But that's their definition of what being financially free is. By using someone else's interpretation, we're not building a roadmap that meets our personal needs.
The answer is to not try to fit your dreams into other people's expectations, or just try to model it after somebody else. Because we believe that if you know what you're striving for, it's way easier to backtrack and see what steps you have to take.
So the real question we should be asking ourselves is this: What is financial freedom mean to you?
To help narrow things down, we'll explore three ways to understand and define your own route.

We try to reveal some things, common myths, common outside-the-box thinking strategies to help you. And probably the most important one to us is this thing called the infinite banking concept, how become your own banker.
And it uses this tool, whole life insurance, in a way that most everyone, including myself, including Holly, would have had no idea that whole life insurance could work this way.
One of the things that we've certainly found is there are a lot of myths floating around. And these are certainly prohibiting people, due to things they've heard in the past, from even opening up to this new concept and on how to use this tool.
Whole Life Insurance Myths Discussed: * Is Whole Life too expensive? * Rethinking how to use a policy today and secure tomorrow * Payment Mentality vs. Deposit Mentality * When and where term life insurance makes sense * Is the rate of return on whole life terrible? * On taxation * Do you have to be young to purchase whole life?

In episode 36, we covered hyperinflation, cryptocurrencies, infinite banking, and how all of them go hand in hand. And we talked a little bit about economics.
Today, we're going to go deeper into Keynesian economics and Austrian economics. Which ones better? Which one presents the greatest benefit for you and society as a whole? And we'll even examine how infinite banking applies on a grander scale of economics.
Economics, Federal Reserve Money Manipulation, and Infinite Banking: * Keynesian economics * Austrian economics * When a dollar isn't necessarily a dollar * The Gold Standard * Nelson Nash and the creation of the Infinite Banking Concept * The implications of widespread IBC adoption
Take Aways: "I like the simplicity of the fact that in Austrian economics, one dollar is one dollar. If you don't have the dollar to represent the dollar, then you don't have a dollar."
"In Keynesian economics, you're essentially saying a dollar isn't necessarily just one dollar. Most of us would say its kinda funny money."
"The main difference between the two is that the Keynesians believe that there should be an authority manipulating the market, whereas the Austrians believe the market should be free and in control."
"We say, a dollar today is stronger than a dollar in the future, just because of inflation and the economy."
"You can break free from the system, and if we get enough people to really be their own bankers, we may be able to, in the grand scheme of things, kind of cripple this Federal Reserve system."

In this episode, we will discuss the power of using your imagination with your money. And we will deep dive on outside the box thinking that almost always produces better results than doing what everyone else is doing.
~ Get show notes and resources here:
https://livingwealth.com/e37/
This is a topic that rings true for us and our podcast. You see, there are reasons why like outside the box: Typically, things inside the box don't always produce success. And using the average strategies and tactics will end up netting you status quo finances.
As the tagline of the show states, if you follow the heard you will be slaughtered. The average person goes along with what the crowd is doing without question. And they don't put much thought into it. They relinquish their control to an idea that it will all work out in the end. It has to; everyone else is doing it, after all.
We challenge those beliefs and arm you with the knowledge to question conventional wisdom today.
Financial Outside The Box Thinking Topics Covered: * Rethinking and questioning 401K's * How and why 401K's became so prevalent * The long-term outcome of 'going with the flow' without questioning the destination * A case story for teaching kids about money and generating passive income at the same time * Rethinking and questioning the 529 plan * When leveraging a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) makes sense and doesn't
Episode Takeaways: "There are reasons why like outside the box: Typically, things inside the box don't always produce success."
"Most of us do a 401K, not because we necessarily believe in it, but because everybody else is doing it. Instead, start asking the question, "Why are you actually putting money into a 401K?""
"I've heard people verbatim say this: "We thought we were doing everything right." It turns out it wasn't enough or some extenuating circumstances took it away from their retirement."
"You have to realize when you put your money even in a 529 program it limits you on what you're able to use it for, and it also can hinder even your kids and their financial aid in going to school"
"Don't be afraid just because nobody else is doing that, that you're wrong. Think outside the box and question the status quo."
"There can be times when it makes sense to use other people's money, whether it's a HELOC or other ways. A lot of people are so locked into trying to get to where they don't owe anybody anything, which is a good goal, but you may be letting the nickel hide the dime."

In this episode, we discuss the effects of hyperinflation on Infinite Banking policies. We also dive into the rise of cryptocurrencies and how you can remain flexible to navigate the issues that are on the horizon.

https://livingwealth.com/e36/
Hyperinflation, in a nutshell, is when a country's currency becomes devalued. And people lose trust in the money, consequently.
We've seen hyperinflation in the US to a certain extent back in the 1980's. But we've never experienced anything like what took place in Zimbabwe here in the US.
Some other countries, like Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic, experienced hyperinflation to extreme levels. These are instances where the peoples of those countries were forced to carry around millions of dollars to fill up their cars with gas, sometimes trillions of dollars to do anything. So this is an almost foreign to us.
The problem starts when a government decides to print more money. That's the number one cause of inflation: the increase in money supply. Just like anything in the world, when supply goes up, typically the price goes down. The same thing happens with money.
When the money supply goes up, the value of the dollar becomes less; especially when other countries start to stop accepting the money. Then it can go out of control. This is when hyperinflation is experienced: Rapid inflation.
This inability of governments to 'help themselves' can be said to be one of the contributing factors of the rise in popularity of cryptocurrencies.
The big question here is this: What impact does all this have on IBC policies?
We answer all this and more in this episode.
Hyperinflation, Cryptocurrencies, and Infinite Banking Topics Discussed * What is inflation * What causes hyperinflation * When governments and central banks lose the trust of the people they serve * The rise of cryptocurrencies * Crypto cryptocurrency confusion * The impact of inflation and hyperinflation on IBC policies * Is IBC as an investment or a bank * Why we need to keep money in motion * Giving money lots of jobs to make it work for you
Episode Takeaways: "Hyperinflation is when inflation hyperinflation happens rapidly."
"Many of us think, "We're in a hyperinflation state," yet we honestly don't know what it is. I would say we're totally headed there, absolutely, 100%."
"The world is seeing that the governments entrusted with controlling the money supply is a dumb idea. So, that's why the cryptocurrencies are a thing."

Infinite Banking History Topics Discussed: * Where did IBC (Infinite Banking Concept) come from * When Ray first got introduced to IBC * The time Ray became very upset with the insurance industry * The time Ray met author R. Nelson Nash * When the light really went off for Ray * The seemingly impossible ways he's leveraged IBC * Using IBC to keep money in motion
Episode Takeaways: "As I read the book I became very, very upset. Not upset with the book, but upset with my industry. Why had it had not shared Infinite Banking with me?"
" We went through twenty-six cars in twenty-five years... if I had the ability to use my policies on all of those cars, I would have $323,000 that I didn't have now."
"all of a sudden I thought, "Well this would work for a vacation. This would work for an addition to the house, this would work for new furniture. If I had known this.""
"one thing I've noticed at my age is a lot of people are concerned about running out of money. I can tell you I do not have that fear today."
"Not that it's unhealthy to be a penny pincher but it really turns off the stimulation and kills your dreaming if you're worried about money all the time. You're not as productive or as creative."
"your money's not locked up and you're thinking differently."

In this episode, we have special guest Ray Poteet. He shares lessons on the importance of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren. And we discuss how grandparents can their grandchildren grow with understanding about money how money works.
Ray Poteet helped his grandchildren by what he's done with them and for them, especially financially. As many of you know, he's the founder of Living Wealth a mentor to the hosts of the show.
Being a grandparent and now a great-grandparent, teaching other grandparents what he's learned is a passion of Ray's. So this is a special episode and topic to him.
Speaking about money is often a taboo subject in most homes. But as Ray says,
We teach them how to drive. We teach them how to run on a computer. [...] but we don't teach them about money.
Yet, it took money to buy a car. It took money to buy a cell phone. It took money to go out to eat. It took money to take them to Disneyland. The item that we needed to do all those things we forget to talk to them about.
So let's get to talk about money and other wisdom grandparents can share in this episode.
[podcastsubscribe]
Grandparents on Money Topics Discussed: * The case for getting a parenting mentor * Getting a grandparenting mentor * Where to 'park' wealth to be of benefit to future generations * Learning to actually talk about money * At what age a policy can and should be started for a child * Leveraging Infinite Banking Concepts to build a legacy * The true destroyer of wealth and one way to guard against it * The advantage of the grandparent's long view of time * Changing money mindsets
[podcastfreedom]
Episode Takeaways: It takes money to do most of the things we do every day in life. Yet, we forget to ever talk about money with our children and grandchildren.
As a grandparent and great-grandparent, teaching about money is the greatest joy I have right now. And I have the tool to be able to teach them.
I was so used to storing money. I was very fearful of not having enough. Now I'm more concerned if money is sitting and not moving rather than an amount of money.
Teach them motion of money instead of money sitting. Teach them replenishing and recapturing instead of just spending money.
The word God says knowledge is power. It also says in Hosea, "My people perish for lack of knowledge.
In this episode, we will discuss the three best money resolutions. These are simple changes can make for the new year that will actually make a difference in your life.
We have just kicked off the new year. And everyone is trying to figure out what type of resolutions and goals they're going to set for themselves.
I'm going to ask you this: Have you personally ever actually followed through with it a New Years resolution? Most likely the answer is no or not many. The intention is to follow through, and you do good for the first couple days, maybe even the first couple weeks. But then 'life gets in the way'.
So we've come up with a few things that we think can really help people and are fairly simple to change. These are money resolutions they could actually achieve.
Normally with a resolution, it's something you have to give up. Think of these as more a call to action. They are money resolutions that can help you and your family. And they create a sense of accomplishment versus a sense of failure.
Simple 2018 Money Resolutions Topics Discussed: * Building emergency funds and rainy day funds * Aligning what you do and what you believe * Using money to accomplish what you want * Setting an investment priority * Following your passion to make investment decisions * Being intentional with your charity * Turning complaints into action * Building a tribe of support with like-minded people
Episode Takeaways: Even though they probably would rather do something else. They're not loving their 401K.
Don't just stuff money into your 401K because you have been doing it. But instead, make a sophisticated decision.
Stop doing things you don't want to do with your money just because you always did it that way. Do something you're passionate about with money.
Start giving intentionally, not just going through the motions and almost like checking it off the list.
Words don't mean a lot. So stop talking about problems and start do something about them.
There is hope.That's the biggest thing: You can have hope and nobody can take that hope away unless you surrender it.
Surround yourself with people that want to accomplish financial freedom along side you.

A lot of us know who Dave Ramsey is. He is on 500 radio stations across the US.
Some of what Ramsey shares is good and some we would call poor advice. So you need to start asking yourself this question, "Does this make sense?"
The best thing is that he helps people that do not know how to control their spending or to live within their means. And he does teach a disciplined approach to actually budget and live within your means. His advice and strategies are great if you're struggling to get a system in place that gives you the ability to start saving.
The Best and Worst Dave Ramsey's Advice Topics Discussed: * Who the advice is good for * Who the advice is bad for * The wisdom of having an emergency fund * Budgeting and living within your means * The advanced topics Ramsey leaves out * How you're drawn into the stories and miss asking the hard questions * When "buying term and investing the difference" isn't the right decision to make * The different kinds of whole-life insurance policies and their annual growth rates * The whole truth about mutual funds generating a 12% rate of return * Doing the math on mutual funds for retirement * The hidden fees not accounted for eating up wealth * How whole life stacks up against mutual funds * The differences between good debt and bad debt * What the wealthy high-level financial players like Robert Kiyosaki do * When Dave Ramsey doesn't follow his own logic and math with home mortgages

In this episode, we question the notion that you save money using tax-deferred programs. Typically, this is sold through funding your IRA or your 401K. We'll also clarify what we believe a real tax-savings is. ~ Show notes and resources from this episode can be found here: https://livingwealth.com/e31 We hear a lot from our clients come this time of the year saying, "Hey, I normally fund my IRA or my 401K because my tax bill is so high. The common thought is that you will save money on taxes by funding them. But we have a beef with this. It doesn't actually save money on taxes. It's a smoking mirrors type of thing. What people don't really understand is that on these deferred programs you're not actually saving any money on taxes. They're not called the tax savings programs. However, they are called tax-deferred programs. We discuss in more detail in this episode... ~ The Tax-Saving Hoax of Tax-Deferred Programs Topics Discussed: ~ * Doing the math * Tax-savings vs. tax-deferred * The long-term outlook on tax rates * IRAs and 401Ks * The impact of inflation * Opportunity costs * Leveraging whole life insurance policies ~ Episode Takeaways: ~ "When you put money into the tax-deferred program, you truly are eroding your wealth due to the time and inflation." "Every time you put money where you can't touch it, you're automatically guaranteeing the dollars that come back are weaker." "looking to reduce, not defer, but reduce taxes is to think how you can serve people and start a business." Show notes and resources from this episode can be found here: https://livingwealth.com/e31

Leaving a better legacy is a topic that's dear to our heart because we deal mainly with the world of life insurance. In episode 29, we're going to talk about some practical steps, but as well as some philosophical, I guess you could
Today, we're going to talk about some concrete steps. And we'll share some fundamental philosophies, so you can leave a better legacy that will last.
Leave a Better Legacy Topics Covered: * Figuring out how much money is enough * Getting rid of poverty mentalities * The Bible's stance on inheritance * Ridding yourself of the scarcity mentality * Setting bigger long-term financial priorities * Developing and passing down money wisdom * What we can learn from two of the wealthiest American families that ever existed * How saving 10% is a myth that could hurt you
Episode Takeaways: There are two mentalities of we scrimp and we save so that we don't really live life at all. And we pass that mentality down to our kids.
Biblically, it says in Proverbs that a good man, a righteous man, leaves an inheritance for his children's children.
We ought to try to leave as much good with [our kids] along with the money [...] instead of having this scarcity mindset.
With a [...] abundance mindset [...] if you start thinking about it that way, it will come to pass.

Emergency funds are crucial to buttressing and protecting our financial life from the unexpected catastrophes. But they're not always given the attention they should receive. And, when people do have them in place, they tend to actually lose money unknowingly.
We run into this a lot, where we're teaching people how to use a policy to be their own banker and make a lot more money. But for some reason, there's a mental block, which keeps them from seeing their policy as a bank. They still see a bank account as a bank and a policy as something different. Nothing makes that clearer than when people talk to us about their emergency fund and how they would never want to move that into a policy or something like that.
Today we're going to talk about emergency funds. How to use your policy as your emergency fund, how much more money you could be making with that, and really how a policy has all the characteristics that you would look for in a really great emergency fund.
[podcastsubscribe]
Emergency Money Episode Topics: * What is an emergency fund * Why should everyone have one * Penalties and taxes for using money from your Roth or 401K in an emergency * Stepping outside the "bank box" * The problem with putting emergency funds in a savings account * How Life Insurance companies are more accountable and safer than banks
Episode Takeaways: It is the fund where you put extra money or cash in case you have an emergency, be it a medical emergency, be it the car breaking down, be it unexpected dental work -- anything unexpected.
Emergency Fund: Liquid money that's easily accessible and it doesn't have any risk associated with it. It's not stuck somewhere.
Over 30 years, you would miss out on over $130,000 if you left your emergency fund sitting in a checking or savings account compared to a policy.
Even in the Depression, where thousands of banks went under, most insurance companies didn't go under.

In this episode, we will discuss how to end debt. You see, there is a difference between paying off your debt and recapturing your debt. And we'll explain how this works so you can finally get off the debt hamster wheel.
There are some staggering statistics on the level of debt Americans are carrying. It's truly frightening.
But it's vitally important that you change your mindset from merely, I want to get out of debt. This should change to wanting to recapture your debt.
Getting out of debt is a topic speak with clients about every day, and that's the problem with debt. And whenever you adhere to the concept of becoming your own banker, you start to see ways of making a lot of money by recapturing your debt.
The problem is that a lot of people know what we mean by recapturing debt. And there's one more step that needs to take place we share in this episode.
How to End Debt and Recapture Your Money Topics: * How bad is the debt crisis * What is recapturing debt * Using a policy as the engine * The counter-intuitive way investing debt works * Understanding asset rich and cash poor * Finding opportunities to teach children about debt
Episode Takeaways: In 2017, we are in a greater financial crisis that we were in 2008 ... because we're carrying even more debt in the US.
Household US debt currently in the first quarter in 2017 was $12.87 trillion, and that is all of us living on debt.
We've got to learn to recapture debt, especially if we're going to bring down the debt in the US.
In this episode, we discuss a question that we've both been asked many times when it comes to banks vs. insurance. The question is, are mutual life insurance companies as safe as banks to put my money? The answer may surprise you.
Banks vs. insurance, which is safer is something that we've been asked many times. It's a great question to ask, in fact. People are wanting to know their money won't disappear on them.
And so, the common question we get related to infinite banking is this: "Is my money going to be as safe in the policy as it is, just sitting in a bank account. There's a lot of nuances there.
We believe that it definitely is. There's a lot of reasons for it. Why would we present banks being riskier to put your money in, than a mutual life insurance company, and a policy there?
Banks vs. Insurance Topics Discussed: * The federal government and state government's role * Austrian economics and why its role in insurance is important * Leveraged money vs. Non-leveraged money * Factors forcing insurance companies to play it straight with your money * The myth and nuance of the FDIC banks protections argument * Why banks buy life insurance policies
Episode Takeaways: Insurance companies actually adhere to what's called Austrian Economics. They can't loan out money they don't have.
Banks failed left and right, and are bailed out. No mutual life insurance company had to get any assistance.
In this episode, we'll discuss the reasons why you shouldn't be so excited about your tax refund, and maybe what you should do instead.
This episode is going to be a fun one. We hear all the time, even in our realm of business, "Maybe I'll get started when I get my tax refund." Or, "I'm looking forward to getting my tax refund, then I'll finally have money."
We have a different viewpoint on it. And we want to make sure everyone else understands, not only about the tax refund, but we also have some other things to say that you may want to implement.
When you think about a tax refund, it's your money you already gave the government to use for a period, or they had it. Whether it be an estimated tax, or by the time you file the taxes, you get the refund.
But, in reality, it was your money that you gave to the government to use, and then they just sent that money back to you. And they didn't send it back to you with interest payments. It's not the same dollars you sent them. It's different dollars, and yet we get excited because, "Yay, we get a refund."

Rethinking Tax Refunds Topics Discussed: * Should you get excited about a refund * Keeping your money in your control and working for you * Ways of leveraging a policy to come out ahead * Why Warren Buffet is rumored to differ paying his taxes for up to 7 years
Episode Takeaways: I will say the IRS is the biggest robber of our wealth out there today.
Why do I want to give the IRS good dollars today for them to give me weaker dollars in the future?
Instead of giving that estimated tax over to the IRS, we've put it into a life insurance policy because the growth will pay any penalty.

In this episode, we discuss the biggest pension myths, and how you can make the best decision for you and your family.
To start, one of the most significant points to focus on in your pension is who to insure. People often ask the questions, "Do you just insure the individual who qualifies for the pension plan? Or if you're married, do you also include your spouse? And what are the pros or cons to including a spouse in regards to the pension plan?"
You go, you work your whole life, you retire, and then they give you an option. It's to choose to get the monthly income just on you, or for you and your spouse. Of course, we're all concerned about the well-being of our spouses. When you first see the number, you say, "Here's the monthly amount of money I can receive from a pension with just me. And if I add my spouse, wow, that's a massive reduction." So it causes people some stress when they see the monthly reduction of money per month if they add their spouse to it.
And there's so much more. Which, we'll cover in this episode to help you maximize your pension.
~ Pension Myths and Maximization Topics Discussed:
~ Pension Mythis Episode Takeaways:
If I die, the day after, she's set because I've been building life insurance banking policies to create wealth
If you only put money in a pension, you can't leave a legacy of wealth for your family.
So more and more, it's becoming a reality that pension programs are going out of existence.
Social security too is that it's constantly changing and who knows how long honestly, it's going to be around for.
With the city of Detroit going bankrupt. All the people who had pensions, guess what? They're gone.

In this episode, we'll pick up where we left off in episode 19. We'll share how to build the perfect life insurance policy to use for becoming your own banker.
The primary goal of this episode is to discuss why we do what we do. What it focuses on the life insurance policy is when doing banking. And, in the last episode, we shared all the reasons why you're not supposed to use other types of policies and other methods to design policies.
So if you haven't listened to episode 19, we suggest you listen to it first because we went through a few important foundational points. And you may want to know that we're going to compare.
When it comes to building your own banking system, the focus is not on benefit. Instead, we're cash focused. So the goal is to actually put as much of your premium dollars into a paid up additions writer as you can. Which will stuff the policy go straight into the cash value. And in this episode, we explain how this is all done.
~ The Perfect Life Insurance Policy:
* The correct policy for use in Infinite Banking
* What is a paid up additions writer and how is it used
* What is a mutual company
* Traditional Life Insurance vs. Infinite Banking
* Being cash focused vs. benefit focused
* Understanding guaranteed interest rate vs. guaranteed cash value

Episode Takeaways:
When buying a single premium writer, you're buying it strictly to have cash, and it buys you a little bit of guaranteed death benefit.
Without a paid up additions writer, the policy is going to underperform, and it won't be a banking policy.
Life insurance it's called life insurance. It's not called death insurance. It should be life giving, to an extent.
With banking, we're not benefit focused. You're cash focused.

Not all life insurance is created equal. In this episode, we discuss the biggest problems found in certain life insurance policies. And we'll cover why you would never want to use them in your banking system.
Now, for those of our listeners who have been with us for a while, they know that we're big fans of a particular concept. It's called the “becoming your own banker” idea. It uses life insurance as a tool to practice banking in a brand new way.
But the problem is that there are so many different kinds of policies out there. We have people come to us who have these policies, and they want to know if they're any good.
So we describe to you a few of the policies to avoid, especially if you're doing this banking concept.

~ Episode Takeaways:
That's the issue with universal life is it may turn out okay, but that's not really up to you.
The insurance company has the control of the policy to determine what they're going to cap you at, so they can always drop the cap.
Banks don't buy these policies and there's a reason why, because they can't control what happens to that policy due to the guarantees and all the things that are given control over to the insurance company.
In this episode, we will discuss the three biggest wealth destroyers and also give you ideas of how to break free from their clutches.
So much money is leaking from three areas that we're going to discuss. If people knew what was going on with their money that they're earning and saving, they'd be mortified.
Bottom line: Taxes are the largest destroyers of wealth. But there is also a slew of other rats eating at your money. And sadly, most people don't even pay attention to them or know they exist.
So we'll bring things to light and share with you how to protect yourself today.

Episode Takeaways:
3+3+3 always equals 9. But when you put money into the game math doesn't work thanks to inflation.
We're taught to believe today's dollars are the same as tomorrow's dollars. They're not!
The biggest hidden fees are in mutual funds and retirement programs that go to the money managers.
Taxes, inflation, and fees rob people of enormous amounts of wealth. And they don't usually know it.
In this episode, we will discuss why you need to become your own banker, even if you have no debt.
We're often asked, "What if I don't have any debt?" Or "How does Infinite Banking work once I'm out of debt?"
You see, a lot of people have been taught to take loans, and they pay off their loans. And people who follow this line of thinking don't have any debt.
But what those people don't understand is that banks make just as much money off your deposits as they do on your loans. So, the reality is you might not have any debt, be making any mortgage payments, loan payments, or even credit card payments, but you are still depositing money into a banking system.
In other words, the bank doesn't care if you deposit money with them or if you borrow money from them. They just want your money!
The reason why you need to become your own banker is it's not just about paying off debt; it's about getting the bank completely out of your money. They are the ones who are conning us into believing that they're a good place to make money when in reality, they're the ones making a killing off of you no matter what chair you're sitting in.
So join us as we deep dive on why you need to become your own banker.
~ Become Your Own Banker Topics Discussed: ~
~ Episode Takeaways: ~
Banks don't care if you deposit money with them or if you borrow money from them. They just want your money.
The dollar that we made in the bank savings account, we pay taxes on.
Banks make just as much money off of your deposits as they do on your loans. It may be time to be your own banker.

If you desire to provide a family legacy for future generations but aren’t eager to reduce your lifestyle, listen in and learn how to build your wealth differently. Escape the doubt and fear by taking charge of your money and thinking outside the box.
~ Episode Takeaways:
We’ve been programmed to let a lot of fear and worry control our lives and give control of our money over to banks and the government.

Changing a loan from somebody else’s bank back to you [turns] a liability into an asset, which is how the wealthy build their wealth.
The focus that the world has put us into is work hard and buy some assets and hope that those assets generate you a rate of return.
Build wealth that doesn’t force you to reduce your lifestyle to be able to afford the things you want to do in the future.
Creating loans to recapture your debt [will] create assets and a better lifestyle for you and leave a lasting legacy for your family.

In this episode, Nate and Holly share the three key steps to breaking free from burdensome debt and never returning to it. Learn how to get serious about the bills crippling your wealth goals and how to change your financial outlook moving forward. Don’t let your debt control you any longer.
Plus, Nate and Holly offer more tips on how you can:
~ Episode Takeaways:
Get serious about getting out of debt. Make it a desire instead of trying to live off a whim. Actually get a plan.
Banks are the biggest buyers of whole life insurance in the world. Would they buy a product that didn’t produce money for them?
Some don’t live with a plan. If there’s no plan to have money, there never seems to be any money.
Be the architect of your life. The easiest way to do that is to get rid of all those hands in your pocket from the banks.
Start saving money in a policy. Use the policy to take over the debt and start paying yourself exactly what you were paying everyone else.
You can get out of debt much quicker than you thought you could just by simply changing your process and getting serious about it.
Your dollar is just as valuable as any dollar you had borrowed. So you need to charge yourself interest.

Introducing the Dollars and Nonsense Podcast.
N: We want to introduce you to Living Wealth’s new podcast, Dollars and Nonsense, where we’ll be talking about outside-the-box strategies for wealth building. Always remember, if you follow the herd, you will be slaughtered.
H: As we start today, I want to tell you a little bit about myself. Again, my name’s Holly, and I came to understand the infinite banking concept through my father, Ray. And really what it has brought to our family is financial freedom and the ability to continue to think outside of the box and to never lose control of our money. I was working 18 hours a day sometimes in a job that I did passionately love, but it always took me away from my family. And what I kept doing was trying to work harder, trying to provide more for my family, and at the end of the day, I found out I didn’t have any more than the person next to me who was doing the same thing. The key here, and what we really want to talk to you guys about, is how to get off that hamster wheel. So for me, it was about changing who got my money and helping people in discovering how to gain financial freedom. I made the choice to leave my profession at a university, where I had a master’s degree, and decided that my goal was to help individuals and families know how they could build wealth and leave wealth but also know how I didn’t have to keep working so hard to not get ahead. This changed my husband’s and my life. We have three beautiful children. [It’s] the fact that we don’t really worry anymore about that paycheck because we’re not living paycheck to paycheck. We have the financial freedom to be able to save, to go on vacations, but really [it’s about being] able to help not just our family but other families do the same thing we’re doing. The fact that you can tell a family you’re not going to have to work harder and keep buying stuff and paying somebody else, but you’re going to be able to help your family grow and understand how money works. [That’s] how I came into the business. Now Nate is going to share a little bit about himself.
N: Sure. I thought it would be great if I introduce myself as well. I’m Nate, and I’m actually also part of the family, but I married in, so I’m not blood. I’m second-tier. Just kidding. I learned about this concept called infinite banking, which is something that we promote and that we love. And it’s way outside of the box, which is the goal of this podcast—to think against the grain. I learned about it four years ago the same way Holly did through Ray. It definitely changed my life. I grew up as the son of a teacher and a pastor, so we really didn’t have any money, and we didn’t know what we were doing with money. In those types of professions, they don’t teach you a lot about money. That’s where my background was from. Just learning the outside-the-box strategies to make money work better for you, and now that my parents are involved in it and, of course, I myself, it’s definitely changed everything. There’s a lot of financial nonsense out there that I really wanted to help people get straightened away. That’s what Holly and I both do on a daily basis, just bring some truth. That’s what this podcast is going to be all about. I’ve been in the financial world for four years. I don’t like thinking inside the box; I’m always trying to push the envelope and push the system to make it work harder. Find new ways to make it work. One of the things I believe is that people are being tricked into doing things financially that don’t make sense. And they ought to stop. That’s why our motto is “If you follow the herd, you will be slaughtered.” Because if you keep doing what everyone else is doing, you’ll get the same results that everyone is getting. And nobody is getting great results. So that’s a little bit about us. We wanted to introduce you what we’ll be talking about in the podcast itself. What will actually be going on? So, Holly, what are some of the goals we have or why would any listener want to listen in? What are we going to be teaching?
H: One of the keys is—I’m going to go back to Warren Buffett. He said, “If poor people would do the same things rich people do, they wouldn’t be poor.” Basically, there’s no different product. The rich have no different product than the poor people or middle class America. We have the same products to use. What Warren Buffett was saying is that the rich just use those products differently. So we want to teach you how to use money for you. Not to rely constantly on banks and credit cards, but really is there such a thing as a retirement program or nest egg or do we need retirement income? One of the keys here is, like Nate said, that out-of-the-box thinking. We’ve been taught to do stuff with money that you wouldn’t do with the things that money buys. And I think Nate can even expand on that more as to how we are using money within our means, and we shouldn’t be doing it that way.
N: Some of the things we’ll be talking about is [that] we like to expose a lot of myths as well. And you’ll find that coming soon with the various things we’re going to be talking about, whether it’s retirement and the issues that are out there that most people believe in, whether it’s mortgages or the interest-rate environment.
Just a lot of things that people have heard before might not be true, ideas that they have, things that they focus on. We’re going to try to shine the light on personal finance. It’s pretty easy to tell we don’t like the conventional way of thinking, so everything you’ll hear from us hopefully will be against the grain. So if you’re somebody who likes inside-the-box strategies, it’s probably not for you. If you’re somebody who is looking to learn new ideas, maybe you can implement some, maybe all, maybe none … Regardless, we’ll try to bring things to the table that people haven’t heard elsewhere that the wealthy have been doing that we haven’t been told about and try to input some new ideas, some creative thinking, and hopefully change your life for the better.
H: We really want to work with you guys on understanding the concept of how money works and how you can be in control of your money instead of constantly giving control over to someone else. So part of the podcast is also—it’s not getting you to buy something; it’s getting you to be educated and to start to understand is this program the best for me? Because we’ve been taught to believe myths or … thought they were truths.
H: [We will] break those myths down and show that they aren’t actually truths. They are ways that are keeping you from gaining financial freedom and from experiencing what it’s like to control the money that you make. You go to your job that you love, but at the end of the day or the end of the month, there just seems to be no money left. And you don’t understand why you’re working so hard and you’re not getting anything back. That’s the goal: to go outside what we’ve been taught for generations to do with our money, such as compound interest, such as buy term and invest the difference. Why are those myths so wrong? And what is a different way of thinking about money and life and how to leave a legacy, not just for your family, but your family’s family.
N: Yeah, and you and I both have talked to people who have said, “I thought I was following the rules right, or I was doing what the big boys told me to do; I just don’t have any money.” So somewhere in there what the world told us to do and what we’ve actually got was not really happening. Hopefully, we can dispel some things and, as Holly said, give you a little bit more financial freedom just by changing how you’re working with money. It’s so easy for it to slip out into the wrong things. That’s our goal for this podcast. New ideas. Creative things. [Thinking] outside the box.
H: Nate, how often are we going to be recording this show?
N: We’ll be recording this show on a bimonthly basis, so twice a month. And we’re going to plan on sending out a new podcast every second and fourth Thursday of the month. So you can expect a new podcast from us every second and fourth Thursday of the month. And we’ll hopefully be able to give you some new insights. About thirty minutes of your time, so not too long of a podcast, but we’ll try to get down and dirty with the meat of the content and go from there. This has been Dollars and Nonsense. If you follow the herd, you will be slaughtered.
H: Thanks for joining us!
