I love how you drew this out on a piece of paper and most likely closed massive cases with this method
One of the best explanations on CZcams short simple and easy to understand.
I stopped at the 3 minute mark. This is a scam because whole-life is a scam. It was created so that life insurance salesmen can eat. It was created for the salesman, not the consumer. Term life is what people need but the commission on term life is so small, no one can afford to live by selling it. This is a scam. And that is that.
Hello I’m Mark Kennedy
Excellent video. Good job describing it in an easy to understand way!
I love this explanation. Great. Thank you
Hello Miguel
Are you interested in investing and earning profit daily through bitcoin mining!
LOVE IT! I'm a huge "Banking" fan and an agent. I copied and pasted this to my fb page and added your name in the comments. I pray that you have great success David! God Bless!
Thank you Chris! Keep spreading the good word :)
Thanks, very informative 👍
This is a great explanation! I’ve had my policy for about three years now, and I don’t regret it at all! It is a great savings and banking vehicle!
What insurance company is your policy with? What does it pay interest wise tax free
@@r030245dc I have my policy with Lafayette life! The interest guaranteed is usually around 2 to 3% uninterrupted! And then with the dividend, it would be around 3 to 5% uninterrupted compound interest! And all of the costs are usually upfront for the policy! That’s the only downside! But I definitely believe it’s worth the cost!
@@r030245dc mines with Lafayette life! It is pretty well interest wise! But that’s not the point! The point is to be able to leverage money at a low cost! I’m OK with it just learning a little bit of uninterrupted compound interest!

It’s because it’s a borderline scam.
@@Davefitz04what part is a scam?
@@ty6390 The IRS has stated that the reason the dividends for this life insurance are untaxed, is because its considered a refund for overpayment of life insurance. Yes, your money technically grows in one of these accounts, but you might make 2-4% on your money, where just in a decent index fund youre getting 8-11 percent, and the money is all yours and you dont have to get a stupid loan in order to access your money. ZERO wealthy people do this. Talk to some millionaires and see how many did this stupid stuff. ZERO

@@amancio2446 Love hearing about your success! And your 'regret' is very common:)
The reason why you have to pay interest to borrow this money is because it doesn't actually belong to you. It belongs to the insurance company. The reason you can't get sued and this money be taken is because it does not actually belong to you, it belongs to the insurance company
there's a reason wealthy people put all of their assets in a Trust type of format---because they still get to "control" the asset without "owning" it. Therefore it's protected.
@David so does the loan you take have interest? And roughly how long do u have to have the policy before u can barrow?
@@disruptoracademy2541 until you have cash value could be as soon as you deposit the money could be up to 5 years depends on how much you initially invest
@@disruptoracademy2541 Yes. And it takes about 2 weeks until your cash value shows up, at which point you can leverage it for a loan

2:01 starts the entire explanation 😁. Very nice summary. I love it very much.... well done. Thank you for sharing. It has been an eye opener for me thank you.
I'm glad it helped!
Would love to see actual examples of this in use.
An actual example is called an illustration. The illustration is based on the proposed insured’s age, premium amount, death benefit and cash accumulation.
I would be more than happy to provide one for you if you’d like.
I borrowed $ from my whole life when the stock market crashed in 2020 and bought bunch of Tesla stocks.. Sold some of them when the market bounced back and paid back the loans.. Now I still own the rest of the stocks but no more loans. That's my real life example :)
I'm late to the party, but IBCGlobalinc has 1000's of real life spreadsheets (actual clients from Corporations, Banks and Wealthy). IBC or forms of it have been around for 200 years. He also does a case study of a $2400 annual policy.
@@spdleeya bro that’s sweet! Love it
@@spdlee that is awesome! That’s the best way to do it! And then you get to keep the stocks also! And you can do that with just about anything!
The KEY piece of information you aren’t saying is that dividends are NOT guaranteed. While many will have historic trends, you cannot guarantee a dividend is given on a whole life policy.
You are absolutely correct. Dividends are NOT guaranteed. That’s why it’s important to use a company that has a 100+ year track record of paying dividends. There are several mutual companies that have paid dividends every single year for 115 to 170 years straight. So although not guaranteed, they do have a 150 year record of being paid.
Hope that clears up that KEY piece of information Michael ;)
Additionally, even without dividends, your cash value will grow every year. Guaranteed.
David, any recommendations to companies with great track records paying out dividends?
everybody is saying the same thing as you but no one is dropping these companies names!! Or at least what Insurance company do you use??
Doesn't matter which insurance company you use, they all invest portion of your money in bonds (whether you want them to or not no control) they are all affected by historic low interest rates set by Bank of Canada. Thus with inflation, commission paid to insurance agent, loan interest, you will lose money.
Great vid 👍🏾

Thank you for the detailed and concise presentation. Heard about this concept while speaking to a client today. Blew my mind. Can you elaborate on what a specially designed life Insurance contact is?
I would encourage you to read the book "Becoming Your Own Banker" by Nelson Nash. It would take a lot of writing to answer that question, but in short it is a policy made up of a blend of Base and Paid Up Additions with the intent to accelerate the cash value growth inside the policy so that it can be leveraged to finance your needs (big purchases, payoff debt, real estate, investing, etc)

This Is Amazing and So Informative . I’ve watched it like 10 times .
Glad it helps!
So, in my case... I have 200,000 dollars sitting on my checking account right now, and these are real figures... and I make 15K a month thru my work, which I really dont use cause I live with the properties I rent out (13 condos). If I do this and I place 200K into one of these accounts, plus let's say the 15K coming for the next 12 months from my work (180K total) into this... that's a total of 380K, right? At the bank, I can take those 380K in a year from now, at anytime, and do whatever I want. I dont know, buy a fancy car or another property. This works the same way? I could take the 100% of the funds at anytime?
You won't have 100% liquidity in the first several years because you are building your system. Don't forget you are also purchasing permanent life insurance to the tunes of millions of dollars (if you put $380k in the first year). Life insurance isn't free, so of course you won't have all $380k available to use in the first year. But you will have a large majority of that amount liquid to borrow against right away. And every year that percentage of liquidity will grow until it starts to outpace what you've ever paid in, meaning you will have much more to borrow from than you ever paid in. And all those gains will be accessible tax-free
This concept is amazing! AND on top of all of this, receive dividends?! My goodness…I see why they don’t teach this in schools. My only question is what broker? And exactly what questions do I ask to structure this policy for infinite banking with dividend payout and access to high cash value immediately??
@@CocoBoldI am a licensed agents and I can help you with it!
@@CocoBoldyes, what questions should I ask?
@@ty6390@cocobold
I set up my first policy 3 years ago but before I made the jump, I spent 3-4 months reading, studying, talking to agents, etc to really get my arms around this concept because it was so different/challenging.
Here are a few questions to ask to get the ball rolling
1) how long have you been personally owned these policies and in what ways have you used them ?
2) do you design policies with mutually owned dividend paying whole life companies with a long track record of paying dividends that are advantageous to policy loans ?
3) why are you in this business ?
4) what are the top 3 hurdles with implementing this concept ?
5) can you provide a case study of someone who has gone down this road already and how this has impacted their financial situation/mindset ? Could I speak to them directly to learn more ?
6) what type of person/situation would you recommend holding off on starting a policy ? (If they say everyone should be doing this regardless of their situation, big red flag IMO)
7) what problem is this going to solve ? (The answer shouldn’t be death benefit solely.)
Great video and illustration!!. Golden nugget in 5 minutes!!
Whole Life Insurance is the old name for the product The name it goes by from most, if not all, insurance companies is Universal Life Insurance.
There are many options when it comes to a UL. An IUL could be the most lucrative for you but it depends on the company and the policies they offer.
Whole life insurance and Universal life insurance are two completely different things.
@@davidbefort2139 Yes, I know. However, many in the general population confuse the two.
@@tpsu129 So why bring it up and make a mess? It’s not what he’s talking about or it would have been in the video!
@@tpsu129 "Many confuse the two."
That's true, but you're also confusing terms. You said whole life is the old name of the product. Infinite banking is not a product. It's a process. Whole life is the product we use to make the process work.
This is so enlightening! Thank you so much for posting. I'd love to learn more about it and the business side of selling Life Insurance sometime. Thanks again!

czcams.com/video/5Kz99fX2aBg/video.html
Thank you!
Im starting to research the concept, but I would like to know how long would I have to pay my premiums before I can take out a loan?
Glenn, you can access your loanable cash value typically within the first 2-4 weeks of funding your first premium with most companies.
Jus seen an example… say u pay $5000/yr for ur policy.. after 3 yrs u put in 15k… but u can only borrow 12k.
M1 Finance operates their Borrow loan in a similar fashion, once you hit the minimum number of dollars invested you can borrow up to 35% of your portfolio value, at 2-5% interest. So with a 100k invested, you can borrow 35k (the loan backed by your owned securities), and the loan can be used for whatever you please and can even be transferred out to another bank.
Most policies actually keep your money for the first 1-4 years. Please read your contract no loan on no money 🤷🏾♀️
@@andreakirven9169 that’s highly dependent on which company, plan, and agent you have. Check out Chris Naugle and his team. You can access your cash value in less than 30 days and they don’t take a huge commission up front. Food for thought
What people aren’t told is that it will take upwards of 10+ years before any significant cash value to build!
Not if it's designed correctly. Significant cash value can be available in the first month of starting the policy. Problem is, most people in the insurance business have no idea how to design these policies so that cash value is available to leverage immediately.
@@davidbefort2139 hi David which policy are you referring to id love to get more details
Not true. You can break even very early and after, say, year 3 it's all gravy after that.
Ask any Agent selling you one of these to disclose in writing his/her commission on this. They will refuse.
@@davidbefort2139 You say most in the industry “have no idea how to design these policies so that cash value is available to leverage immediately.”
Questions-
1. Is that a training issue or is that at the agents discretion to “design” it?
2. Why wouldn’t the insurance company design the policy to default to one that immediately builds cash value? After all, that’s what their agents are marketing/selling to the consumer right?
Well done! Appreciate the video. I'm a big fan of IBC.

BEST NO FLUFF EXPLANATION 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 please make more videos like this!!
Effing insane. I remember reading it several times, loaned money isn't taxed...🤣 Had to of been an innocent mishap. 🤣
I don’t get it, what does that mean?
@@chief5981 It's deep bro. Just keep looking up how to avoid taxes legally
Why would I pay someone to borrow my own money? The life insurance company is going to take my money and invest it into Stocks, And other Asset classes. Why wouldn't I just do that myself? Before you say tax benefits. I can achieve that though Real Estate and other retirement accounts Roth IRA, etc...
You aren't borrowing your own money, you are borrowing the insurance company's money. Your money is sitting inside the policy earning uninterrupted compound returns for the rest of your life while at the same time you are leveraging it to borrow someone else's money. Once you understand the power of using OPM (other people's money), you will begin to understand the power of becoming your own banker.
@@davidbefort2139 also, Roth IRA has penalties if you withdraw before 59.5. Money you withdraw isn't compounding because you took it out. When the market goes down, so does your money, thus slower growth.
And moving forward, now that the ins companies have lobbied congress to lower their guarantees, you'll only "earn" 2% on that cash value...which by the way, belongs to the insurance company!! You will never get that back! The only way to access that money is to BORROW it or DIE!
@@theforce5191 the only two things in our history that have outpaced inflation are real estate and the market (net of costs). YES, qualified money is for the long term...put short-term money into municipal bonds!
@@IllinoisShortSales you do know that there was higher dividend payouts over 6% a few decades ago right? So you're wrong when it comes to "only two things to outpace inflation ". Also where you get this info on 2%?
am all for this, it somewhat say you can save how much you like without any taxes from the irs or cra us/cad. my only dilemma is , when you say have 45 dollars cash value, 1. what is the interest rate for the loan 2. any fees for taking the loan involved ?
Very cool
Thanks Pat, hope it was enlightening
If i borrow from my policy, i pay the insurance company 5% SIMPLE interest. Meanwhile that money is making 4% COMPOUNDING interest. I still end up making money on the 1% difference, because i am making COMPOUNDING vs borrowing SIMPLE. can you do a illustration of this on 1 of your videos?
Travis, you have the right idea from a high level perspective. I created a video on my channel that describes this exact situation (although not using life insurance as the example case). Check it out here: czcams.com/video/NmDwAnU05DI/video.html
That’s incorrect. If you borrow at 5% simple interest and the policy pays 4% compound interest you incurred in a net loss. A simple math calculation will show that.
In a 10k loan for example, you would have to pay back 500 in interest while the 4% compound interest will generate you 400 dollars. You actually lose 100 dollars a year.
@@alainnaranjo7700 You're only accounting for 1 year. That's not compounding interest. Compounding interest takes time which is why you need to look at the long term.
correct Barbara, also the coumpounding of 4% net internal rate interest happens on the total policy amount of $100k for example....even though you take out 10k loan at 5% simple interest. So you can still come out ahead since they calculate things this way....
To my knowledge the SIMPLE interest only remains SIMPLE if it’s paid back within the calendar year. If not it becomes COMPOUND interest as well. Either way as long as you only remove 80% of the cash value you’ll still break even, and technically with dividends you’d go a bit ahead. It’s just a strategy that requires discipline like anything else.
Is it not true that the “cash” account is gone when you die? So your putting a majority of your payments into an account that you can never take out and when you die you can’t give that to your inherits? It sounded like a great idea u til I heard that.
Great question to a commonly misunderstood aspect. In short, when you die, your beneficiaries will receive the death benefit, not the cash value. The death benefit will always be higher than the cash value.
Allow me to explain how this works: your life insurance contract consists of two parts, the "asset" (aka Death Benefit) and the "equity" (aka Cash Value). If you own a house this will make sense---in this case your house is the "asset" and the amount value of the house minus what you owe on the principle amount is the "equity." When you sell your house, you do not get to keep the full amount the asset sold for AND the equity, correct? It is the same way with whole life insurance: when you die, your beneficiaries get to keep the value of the "asset" (death benefit), but not ALSO the cash value.
The part about this that most people (even life insurance "professionals") don't realize is that the value of the asset (death benefit) APPRECIATES in value every single year along with the value of the equity (cash value). Because of the special way these policies are designed, as cash value increases, the death benefit also increases. For example, I started a policy 6 years ago that had a death benefit of $500,000. Today, that death benefit is $1 million. And if I live to be 85 years old, God willing, that death benefit may end up being $3 million or more.
In summary, the cash value merely represents the "present day" value of the future death benefit. In other words, the cash value is what the insurance company would pay you to walk away from the contract and remove the liability of the death benefit from their books. Which is why it will always be lower (and typically significantly lower) than the death benefit.
I hope this explanation helps!
@David Befort Even with the aspect of the escalating price of the death value, what if say one comes across a great sum of money and they say, have an extra 5 million to invest & they dump that into a policy with a death value of $500k. Even if policy appreciate to 1-2 million, what about the instance of one placing much more into it than the price of death benefit?
@@mdotbeedot That's not possible. You can never have more cash value in a policy than the death benefit. The situation you describe is not even a possibility in the life insurance world.
You could, however, dump $5M into the stock market and watch it turn into $2M. That is completely allowable and legal.
You can get a cash value rider and get your death benefit paid in full, plus the cash value. You can get an accelerated death benefit rider and use 75% of the death benefit as well, if you are diagnosed with a dreaded disease.
@@davidbefort2139 Yes the cash value equals the death benefit in certain policies, and you can get the cash value payed to your beneficiary as well

A great way to separate people from their money.
Why do you say that?
@@jahmezis45 Listen to anyone other than the person selling you the policy and you will see why I said that. Also, you can talk to any actuary who develops such policies and they will tell you the facts about these policies. They were not designed for the purpose people sell them for. These sellers think they have found a loop hole. What they really found is a way to confuse clients and MAKE LOTS OF MONEY in fees and commissions.
@@rajbeekie7124 sure pal
Do you have proof that insurance salesmen are making huge commissions or are you echoing thoughts from financial gurus? I mean some insurance salesmen do make lots of money off of commissions, but not all! 🤔
@@rajbeekie7124 Raj you have absolutely zero idea what you are talking about. A properly structured policy will accrue MORE cash value than the premiums paid in. How is that a bad investment? Plus, a person can borrow against the cash value at any time. It’s completely liquid.
In the policies that I have I have never been given the choice of payback of my loans. They really me exactly how much my payment is. My dividend statements show I receive interest on my entire cash value, not my cash value minus my loan amount.
I can't speak for your policies, but I find that odd that the company would require you to pay back the loan on a certain timeline of their choosing. What most companies do is send you a letter in the mail with a "proposed" repayment plan, but I've never seen one that is mandatory. I suggest you call the home office and ask about it.
Your company sounds like a "non-direct recognition" company, meaning they do not recognize the outstanding loans you have when they pay dividends and therefore pay dividends on the entire cash value amount.
Shawn, you have what's called a non direct recognition policy. That means they account interest on the entire cash. Direct Recognition companies will account for the loans. So you lucked out and got it with a NDR.
@@hotran4394 just like Michael Jordan lucked out, it was designed that way.

@@davidbefort2139 okay bro thanks
Also, you don't have to pay it back because you're paying interest on that money ... the insurance company is collecting fees + your interest and so they are coming out on top .... You don't pay it back ... no more death benefit. You lose your life insurance policy.
Even if they do pay it back the company doesn't pay out the cash value to the beneficiaries, they only get the death benefit.
@@galloe Which is higher than the cash value anyway, so who cares?

Sorry if I'm a little slow, but do people do it in real life? What is the contract for the WLI like? What are the risks associated, if any, as compared to traditional banking
Next to none.
The risks are enormous and you are guaranteed to lose lose money compared to the alternatives. About 80% of whole life policy holders surrender their policies before they die. Watch the video by Rich on Money called "Whole Life Scam." Pay no attention to the sycophantic comments on this video. They are almost all by other whole life salesmen looking to make a sale and rake in those commissions.
Excellent!!!
Question I heard that we can do the Family Bank with 401k and or IRA'S it's true?
You can bank with anything. But why would you ever want to bank with something that has zero guarantees? 401ks are one of the worst financial instruments in existence.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong: I'm giving the insurance company money just to be able to borrow less than that same money I put in. Sounds very circular if this is the case...
Until you hit your breakeven year, when you have more money in the policy than what you've paid in.
Sounds like something Bernie Madoff would have approved of.
Based on taking loans from an insurance company and using leverage? Get a clue.

Could someone tell me whether this(or something similar) is available in Europe???
How do I know if this would make sense for my situation?
Lets address each of the "benefits" having your money in this "specially designed " whole life insurance policy.
You own it -- No you don't. When you die 100% of it is taken away.
Guaranteed to go up -- Yeah right. It takes 7 years just to break even due to all the commissions and fees. A regular savings account breaks even on day 1.
No required repayment -- But you will have compounding interest charges against your remaining surrender value and policy could lapse.
Dividends -- These are, according to the IRS simply a return of excess premium charges. Thus there is no tax..
Privacy -- Yes, useful for those who want to stick it to debt collectors.
Control -- No, you have virtually no control over your cash value. How it's invested - no. Interest rate of growth or to pay on loans -no. Control when you die -NO! You can only take loans up to a certain percentage of it.
Tax free growth -- Who cares if a fund that you don't own or control experiences tax-free growth.
Leverage (money at work in more than one place at a time) -- Not really. You borrow generally to make a purchase, not to reinvest your loan and then pay interest on the loan. Also, your cash value continues to grow very slowly but who cares? Remember, you don't really own or control it.
Death benefit -- Yes, you get a death benefit. But if that is important to you you can get a term policy at about 1/15 the cost of whole life.
Market volatility -- Yes, the growth of "your" cash value is guaranteed. But it is also guaranteed to be pathetic. Once again, who cares when you don't own or control it.
Opportunity to make investments or large purchases -- If an opportunity appears, you have the option to take out a LOAN ?!?! Had you saved all those premiums instead of sending them to an insurance company you'd have the money in cash to take advantage of that opportunity.
Every one of these misleading talking points is designed to separate you from your money so the insurance company and its salespeople can get their fat commissions and fees. Stay away from whole life insurance. If you need life insurance, get a term policy. If you want your money to grow, then put your money into an investment like an index fund or high yield savings.
“100% taken away”???? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Did you feel like your equity was taken away when you sold your house? No? Why not??same concept ding dong
No answer? Turns out your talking points are nonsense.
Lol. None of these guys ever talk about the expensive monthly payments for whole life insurance.
My lowest premiums are about $300.00 a month some agents do lower.
Just depends how much you contribute into this
Can’t build wealth with $100 a month
No insurance agent will give you a policy that pays out more than they earn. This is a scam.
Term life insurance is just throwing money away take the money and invest it instead live the life you got
@@Justthemowterm life is insurance, it’s just that. Wealth building is separate. Merging the two is a scam. Ignore every whole life agent.
I’m attempting to the find the book mentioned here. I only see the 6th edition. Do you suggest reading that version
You should be able to find the 5th edition on Amazon. But the 6th edition is fine too.
What happens to the money you put when you die? Do you recommend also having a term life as well?
Your family gets the asset: the tax-free death benefit payout. Keep in mind that the death benefit (aka the "asset") grows bigger every single year just like the cash value does. The cash value merely represents the amount of equity you've built in this appreciating asset. When you die, you get the full value of the asset.
Also, yes I definitely believe there is a place for term insurance. I carry a hefty amount of "convertible" term insurance to supplement what I don't have in whole life insurance at the moment. But because my term insurance is "convertible", I have a guarantee to be able to convert the death benefit to a whole life policy anytime I want to without having to prove I am healthy enough to be insured. So if I develop cancer or become disabled, I will still be able to convert the term insurance to whole life so that I can keep life insurance in place for the rest of my life.
My plan is to convert all of my term insurance over to whole life insurance over the next 10 years.
What happens when you pay off your mortgage on your house? You get the asset. You don't get the asset and your mortgage payments back. For this the asset is your cash value.
@@Jekyll_Island_Creatures Perfect analogy. Thank you.
Hahahaha this is crazy, just open any introductions to finance or economics book and you learn that nothing is like this guys is talking about, there is no gain without risk, nor 100% guaranteed. This is crazy. Please be careful on what you see online. Go back to the fundamentals when you want to invest.
Also, let’s talk about the tax: do you know why the IRS does not charge you money? Is because the IRS does not consider this dividend income. The main reason why is because this so call dividends are not income because you are the owner and the customer. For that reason the IRS considers the dividend as “overcharge refunds” and no overcharge is taxable. You can look it up on the IRS web. Also, you pay interest on you own money, why do you want to take a loan on you money? That is just so bad that financially ignorant people take on this. Please people if you want to invest get a financial advisor (certified) not an insurance salesman. They do not have the same responsibilities nor duties by law.
💯
That's why I am reading comments 😂
Did anyone else catch the ongoing scam here? So your money is locked up & can't Be Taken Out in the 'Specialize Design Life Insurance Contract' & if you need to access your money to buy a car or whatever reason why you need money they lend out to you as a 'LOAN' with interest. LMFAO, why would I pay interest to spend my money.
You always are paying interest even if your paying cash
Your money is not “locked up”, as you put it. It is optimally liquid and in your control.
To your question about paying interest, maybe think of it this way: the interest you would pay to the life insurance company is allowing you to account for the opportunity cost of spending money. This cost exists at all times, you probably just didn’t see it before because it doesn’t show up as an expense like groceries or gas. This strategy allows you to eliminate the opportunity cost of your money while you use it to do the things you were going to do anyway. The profitability of this over your lifetime is staggering.
In addition, this strategy speaks to a deeper problem than strictly numbers. It also addresses the ease of access to capital and control over your cash flow over the long-term. When you borrow from a bank, you need to apply, have them check your credit score, give them all your documentation, and they MIGHT give you a loan. Even if they do, you MUST pay on a certain schedule, or you’re going to hear from them incessantly until you’re current.
So what if an opportunity comes up that would earn you xx% annual return and you need to stop making payments to divert cash toward that? This strategy gives you the flexibility to do that.
The future is unknown. Therefore, it’s best to have optimal control over capital.
@@BryanWCrute You're making this more complicated than it is in order to make it sound better than it is.
If you did *not* plan on buying life insurance anyway, then this is a horrible plan. Because in addition to paying interest to access your own money, you are also paying a monthly "cost of insurance" to keep up the policy which grants you access to this whole scheme.
And the "cost of insurance" is not fixed. Every year it rises. It is constantly updating according to the actuarial tables of the insurance company.
If, at the age of 30 your monthly cost of life insurance is $50, by 60 years old it could be $500.
So yeah, this is a nice way to get a cheap loan if you were planning to spend a whole bunch of money on life insurance anyway. But if you weren't going to buy life insurance anyway, then this is a terrible scheme to enter into just for the borrowing power.
Great video. I tried to get a copy of the book but I am having trouble finding 5th edition in anything besides Auto or kindle. Can you help
It's currently out of print and there is a hold up with the publisher. Something to do with the paper supply. No ETA just yet. I recommend the audible version for now, it's only about 3 hours
Good morning, there is an equivalent of this product in Spain or in Europe? Thank you very much I am reading the book!
Not that I am familiar with, unfortunately. It's a North America product only as far as I know.
Holy crap, a total con job. DON'T DO THIS!!!
Correct lol
Gotcha. Take out a whole life insurance policy (which has crappy returns and does have a chance of losing money so it's not "locked down" btw), build it up (which takes years), and use it as a bank account for collateral, for taking a loan from another insurance company, incurring risk, so you can spend that money. This is honestly the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I am saddened you are advertising this as good financial advice. Please do yourself a favor and listen to Dave Ramsey.
I have listened to Dave Ramsey. He's got great information on getting out of debt and establishing a budget. But his advice to pay cash for everything (to include your house) is an extremely inefficient use of money and he doesn't take into account lost opportunity cost for those dollars. Also, with just a little research you will find that putting all of your investment nest egg into mutual funds will absolutely not give you a 10-12% return over your lifetime. That's absurd. And don't forget about the compound taxes you will pay when you take that money out. Btw, life insurance is not an investment and shouldn't ever be considered one. It's a savings and cash flow system. I've got respect for Dave, but please realize he is marketing to the masses, i.e the "average" Joe. Nothing wrong with remaining average if that's all you expect out of life. But if you want to create real, multi generational wealth, it may be worth your time to explore some financial strategies that have been used by banks and wealthy families for hundreds of years---strategies you won't hear from the mainstream. The choice is yours.
David Befort well said sir.
First of all, it's not an investment but it's a savings vehicle on steroids. Inside the policy, you should be able to get approx between 3-5% but that's just inside what does it help you do outside the policy especially with Real Estate. Dave Ramsey is correct about life insurance accept if you turn the policy upside down. That's why investors business owners and major companies buy it they aren't buying it for the death benefit that's why they minimize it. As far as using the cash you can start using it right away. It takes a couple of years to break even but it's just like starting a business or filling up a brand new apartment building. The key is when you are getting a loan from the insurance company your money compounded uninterrupted. Even Dave Ramsey's debt snowball works better with this policy and it's not even debatable.
@@samsciascia4004 Sounds like you've done your homework Sam. Do you use this concept in your life and/or business?
@@davidbefort2139 I'm actually an agent. I used to hate the concept until a saw one of my clients is a real estate investor use it which opened my eyes.
I think this infinite banking is starting to make sense after all the videos I have watched on it. Still many questions
If I am putting a large amount of money in this policy and able to borrow it ... where would I put my actual retirement money? I do want to retire one day. I can't always be in a state of borrowing. And if this is MY money, why do I have to pay interest when I borrow MY money? Aren't there other places where I can place my money, earn a high rate of return, and NOT have to pay interest to pull out my money?
You're not borrowing your money. When you take a loan, the insurance company is lending you money from their general fund, which means your full amount is still compounding. As for retirement money, what assets do you want to buy? That's the point of infinite banking. You take the policy loan and use that money to buy your assets. That way, you have the assets, PLUS the full compounding inside the policy.
Sounds like a scam
Nope. Just basic math using accounts that have been around hundreds of years.
It’s no a scam! My friends are doing it and I finally realized and understood this incredible tool! I’ll use for my real estate investments.
Because it is
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 it’s math.
100k earning 5% in 5 years is 128k
100k loan at 5% paid in 5 years costs 113k. Last I checked that’s plus 15k. Yep, definitely a scam……🤦♂️
@@ProfessorOfLogic81 you know how math works right? It’s not that hard.
So are you loaning from your company to your individual self? Then collateralizing from your cash value?
Correct. You collateralize the cash value in your policy. The insurance company loans you money from their general fund. When done like this, you still have access to capital, but your cash still compounds in the policy.
🔥!
Where can i get that life insurance has that a produkt name or smthg i asked ma insurance guy and he didn't know what i was talking about and if it is possible every one would do that
What do you think of mass mutual for this strategy. I’ve had have a policy with them for a few years. Been finding about $30k a year.
Funding*
It works with them if you use the right policy
So essentially you're lending yourself your cash value from the whole life policy? What are the tax implications penalty implications?
When used properly, you will be able to access all of your gains tax-free while you are alive, and your death benefit transfers income-tax free to your heirs upon your death
Zero taxes. It's considered a loan so zero taxes baby!
@@davidbefort2139 Aren't the deferred taxes for the interest-generated gains deducted from the death benefit before the balance is given to the heirs?
Great whiteboard explanation of the infinite banking concept. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Anyone reading this, could you hint me what a 'family bank' is? I cant wrap my head around the whole concept due to thinking about the family bank
I want to see what you can come up with for my family.
Where should I go to get started with whole life insurance?
I'd recommend talking to a few professionals before making a decision on who is going to be the best fit for you. There are plenty of people who design "IBC" policies, but not all of them have been trained in the correct way to design them. I'd also only work with someone who practices what they preach. Personally, I have been practicing this concept for 11 years and have been trained extensively on the best way to. design these. Feel free to reach back out if you want to schedule a quick talk and see if we're a good fit.
JOey, DON'T!!
@@IllinoisShortSales why
Personally I wouldnt even touch my policy money, instead allowing it to grow. But let's say you did take out a loan using cash value as collateral, can you still use your policy $ if you need to, while paying the loan back to insurance company?
You can use up to 100% of your "available loan balance." So if your available balance was $100k and you took a $25k loan, you still have access to $75k of available loan balance. And every time you pay $1 back towards your outstanding loan, that $1 becomes available for you to borrow again almost immediately.
That is your decision, but I would highly recommended you collateralize your policy with policy loans to buy assets.
So does the amount of cash value in the policy determine how much collateral you can use
Yes

David, i am 53 now, what is your suggestion for me regarding this Life insurance policy. i make good money and am healthy. this concept seems no brainer, so why i read here and there that t is not for everybody?! i like to get this going asap. Thank you
You read that it's not for everyone because it's NOT for everyone. If you lack financial discipline (i.e., spend less than you make) or you lack the desire to educate yourself and increase your financial IQ, then this is not for you.
However, if you have discipline and are committed to learning, then you should explore this concept.
Can you do this in the Uk?
Where do I go to get these specialized term life insurance policies?
You can contact me directly at dave@maxperformancefinancial.com if you'd like more information, happy to point you to some great educational material
DON'T!! Full of misleading statements that are not reflected in the contract you have with the insurance company!
Why do some sites say to stay away from Universal Life and/or Index Universal Life for Infinite Banking?
Mostly due to risk factors involved with UL policies. As the insured gets older, the cost of insurance rises which means the annual premiums get larger. The cash value is canibalized to pay for the increasing cost of insurance each year and, unless the policy has performed very well and the returns have been very good, the policy could run out of cash to pay for the premium. When this happens the policy lapses and leaves the insured with no cash value and no life insurance.
Whole life insurance, on the other hand, has a level or decreasing premium over the life of the policy.
Where do you start and how much-needed?
You start by talking to someone like me who can run illustrations for you and show you how the policy would work for you specifically. You determine how much you need to start and how much you will pay monthly. Like the video says so well, you have complete control of your money. You dictate the terms of what you want to pay.
You start by reading the book I showed at the end of the video. Education is step #1. Then reach out to me to have a discussion and get questions answered.
Hello, excellent video. Does this "Infinite Banking Concept" apply outside of the USA? (ex: Switzerland?)
No ,its a scam dont do that.
How is it a scam? Researching this concept and genuinely want to know.@@MrJcl666
@@MrJcl666it’s basic math dummy. Tell me how that’s a scam. 🤦♂️
i don't understand the collateralized a loan with cash value 3:45 . Please help, im really interested!
Your cash value creates what you can think of as a line of credit with the insurance company. If you have $1,000 in cash value, the insurance company will allow you to borrow $1,000 from them while your money continues to sit in the account earning interest and possibly dividends
