What Nobody Tells You About Infinite Banking?
Understanding the Basics and Why It Matters
Have you come across the term “Infinite Banking” before? Maybe you've heard whispers of it in a financial article, a blog, or even a podcast?
Infinite Banking was a concept introduced in Nelson Nash's book "Becoming Your Own Banker," and has since grown in popularity as a popular method of achieving financial independence.
At its core, infinite banking gives you control over your cash flow, enables you to build wealth, and offers a way to leverage your assets without relying on traditional banks and banking systems.
In this first article, we'll cover the foundation concepts of infinite banking, how it works, and why it matters to those ambitious for a future of financial freedom.
How Does Infinite Banking Work?
Infinite Banking is a special type of whole life insurance policy that enables one to accumulate cash value over time. In contrast to life insurance (where you only receive a death benefit), whole life insurance builds cash value that can be accessed by the policyholder in the form of loans. The loans are borrowing against yourself, which means that you are borrowing your policy's cash value while it can continue to grow.
Okay, we've got a basic idea. Now, let's look at some of Infinite Banking's core ideas.
Building Cash Value
In Infinite Banking, cash value reflects the money you accumulate over time with the policy. Cash values continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis and can be withdrawn via loans. With time, with regular premium payments, the cash value increases, allowing you to access more funds if needed.
Policy Loans
Borrowing against your policy's cash value enables you to access funds whenever needed without affecting your policy's growth or requiring approval from a traditional bank. Additionally, these loans offer flexible repayment options, meaning you can decide when and how to repay them.
Tax Benefits
Another massive benefit of Infinite Banking is its tax-advantaged structure. The cash growth within a whole life insurance policy is deferred, and any loans withdrawn are tax-free.
Secured Growth
Whole life insurance policies provide a guaranteed rate of return on cash value, offering policyholders consistent growth regardless of market conditions. This stability is essential for those looking to create a reliable financial foundation, especially when combined with potential dividends from mutual insurance companies.
Becoming Your Own Bank
The idea of becoming your own bank comes from the notion that you can use your policy's cash value to fund personal expenses, invest in new opportunities, or cover emergencies without the approval you would typically need from a traditional bank. Infinite Banking offers a system where you can be both the borrower and lender.
You could even fund your next investment using infinite banking (Hint: Your new FBA business!)
