Everyone knows that money is important. But have you ever wondered how to educate your children on becoming financially literate and how to become financially free?
Imagine having a pool of cash that you own and control that’s large enough that neither you nor your family ever has to use traditional banking systems ever again. Now there may be an interest that needs to be paid on those loans, but imagine having death benefit to recoup the interest lost over those years of financing through this family banking system. That is power.
Do you realize that we finance every single purchase that we make, whether we pay cash or borrow? Conventional wisdom has taught us that debt is bad and should be avoided at all costs. So what’s the difference between financing and debt?
One of my most frequently asked questions is how many policies should I have and whether is there a benefit to having one big policy versus several smaller policies. When deciding what the best policy for you is, you may be wondering how much premium is too much premium and what is the benefit of having multiple policies working for you.

If you’re looking into the infinite banking concept using a whole life insurance policy, I’m sure you’ve heard of the different splits. Do I do a 90/10? Do I do an 80/20? Do I do a 40/60? What is the best design for me and how do I get the most out of my policies?
If you have a whole life insurance policy, there’s a contractual provision built into your contract that allows for policy loans. Policy loans are unique in that they’re unstructured, and you have guaranteed access via this loan provision. We usually recommend policy loans for our clients because they’re unstructured and they make the rest of their money more efficient.
When it comes to specially designed whole life insurance policies designed for cash accumulation, you hear us talk about the cash value as well as the death benefit. A question that we’ll often get at the death of the insured is, “Are both the death benefit and the cash value, paid out to the named beneficiary?”
