What is the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC)?

IBC is a financial strategy using whole life insurance policies to create a personal banking system by borrowing against policy cash values while they continue to earn dividends.

Why do mutual insurance companies matter in IBC?

Mutual insurance companies are owned by policyholders, ensuring decisions benefit policyholders and profits are returned as dividends.

What are the criteria for choosing an insurance company for IBC?

The company must be mutual, at least 100 years old, have paid dividends annually for those years, and support the IBC by allowing certain policies like first-year loans.

How does IBC minimize risk compared to traditional investments?

IBC prevents breaking the compound interest curve, ensuring continuous growth of the policy's cash value, which minimizes financial risks.

Can you use IBC for buying real estate?

Yes, you can borrow against your policy to buy real estate, allowing the property to generate cash flow used to repay loans while the policy value continues to grow.

How does IBC help with debt management?

By taking loans against the insurance policy to pay off debt and then using freed-up cash flow to repay the loan, keeping the cash value growing.

What happens when your policy reaches its cash limit in the IBC?

You can start a new policy once the existing one reaches its cash limit to continue the strategy without breaking compound interest growth.

Is the IBC considered an investment?

IBC is not an investment, but a cash flow management strategy to effectively use money and continuously grow assets.

What are the tax implications of withdrawing cash from an IBC policy?

Withdrawals from IBC policies are typically tax-free, offering a financial advantage during retirement or other uses.

Why prefer IBC over traditional banks for financial management?

IBC offers retained compound interest growth on cash values and more personalized management compared to traditional banks.

Résumé

TLDRThe video explains the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), a financial strategy using whole life insurance policies to create personal banks, allowing cash value to grow continuously while taking loans against it. It begins with the importance of selecting the right insurance provider meeting criteria such as being a mutual company, paying consistent dividends for over a century, and supporting IBC-specific policies. IBC uniquely minimizes traditional investment risks by never breaking the compound interest curve even when loans are taken, thus maintaining cash flow growth. This strategy helps in buying assets like real estate or managing debt by using policy loans instead of direct cash withdrawals, ensuring financial stability and tax-free cash generation. By redirecting the freed-up cash flow back into the policy, users can further grow their cash value and achieve financial goals more efficiently. When policy limits are reached, new policies can be created to sustain this growth model.

Chronologie

00:00:00 - 00:05:00
The video introduces the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), a strategy aimed at helping individuals achieve their financial goals with less risk and in less time. It emphasizes the importance of partnering with mutual insurance companies, as these are owned by policyholders, aligning the company's interests with those of the clients. Mutual companies return profits to policyholders as dividends, ensuring that clients benefit directly from the company's success. The insurance companies should have a historical record of paying dividends, even during challenging times like recessions and pandemics, which demonstrates their reliability.
00:05:00 - 00:12:03
The concept involves creating a 'personal bank' by taking loans against a life insurance policy rather than withdrawing the cash directly. This method ensures that the policy's cash value continues to grow even as funds are used to pay off debts or invest in assets such as real estate. By continually reinvesting and repaying these loans, individuals can maintain and enhance cash flow without breaking the compound interest curve. This strategy is contrasted with traditional methods that often reset cash flow to zero after each investment. By using the IBC approach, individuals can theoretically achieve financial goals more quickly and with reduced risk, setting up a sustainable cycle that supports both asset acquisition and eventual retirement funding.

00:00:00
in today's video we're gonna go over how
00:00:02
I be C or the infinite banking concept
00:00:05
works and more importantly how using
00:00:09
this strategy will help you achieve your
00:00:11
goals with less time and with less risk
00:00:13
so let's get started with IBC the first
00:00:19
character of the play is going to be the
00:00:21
insurance company now before I go any
00:00:28
further I always give this disclaimer is
00:00:30
that I went I went to school for
00:00:33
accounting not English or art thus my
00:00:37
penmanship and my spelling is horrible
00:00:40
so I'm just apologizing for it now now
00:00:43
the insurance companies that we work
00:00:44
with need to meet for strict criteria
00:00:47
the first one is they need to be a
00:00:49
mutual company a mutual company just
00:00:55
like a stock company but there's one big
00:00:57
difference right a stock company is
00:00:59
owned by stockholders a mutual company
00:01:02
is owned mutually by its policyholders
00:01:05
aka you and me in our view this isn't
00:01:09
very important for a couple key reasons
00:01:11
for one any company their main goal is
00:01:16
to create value for their owners so the
00:01:19
stock company is gonna make decisions on
00:01:22
what's best for their stockholders not
00:01:25
the policyholders both the mutual
00:01:28
insurance company the owners and the
00:01:30
policyholders are the same so they're
00:01:32
gonna make decisions that are gonna
00:01:35
create more value for us also just like
00:01:40
any owner of a company we get the
00:01:42
profits in a mutual company what they
00:01:46
will do at the end of the year their
00:01:48
take their profits set a little bit
00:01:50
aside for reserves and then the rest
00:01:52
come back to us as dividends if that's
00:01:57
the case if we get all of the ensure we
00:02:00
get all the profits of the insurance
00:02:01
company is it possible for them to
00:02:04
overcharge us I would argue no if we're
00:02:06
getting all the profits so key thing is
00:02:09
they need to be mutual also
00:02:13
they need to be a hundred years or older
00:02:18
also they need to have paid dividends
00:02:22
every one of those hundred years so if
00:02:26
you stop and think about it that means
00:02:28
they pay dividends during the Great
00:02:30
Recession during the Great Depression
00:02:33
and also the last time this country or
00:02:37
this world has seen a pandemic the
00:02:39
pandemic of 1918
00:02:41
thus we believe if they were able to get
00:02:44
through and be profitable during those
00:02:47
very difficult times that they're going
00:02:50
to be in the best position for the next
00:02:52
difficult time also and finally they
00:02:56
need to support the infinite banking
00:02:58
concept there are some great insurance
00:03:00
companies but they don't support IBC
00:03:04
meaning that they don't allow first-year
00:03:07
loans or put some restrictions on that
00:03:09
so we don't work with them now the next
00:03:14
character the play is going to be your
00:03:16
policy now these policies are going to
00:03:21
be designed very different than than a
00:03:25
typical life insurance policy because
00:03:27
most life insurance policies are
00:03:29
designed to maximize death benefit we're
00:03:33
doing the exact opposite we're actually
00:03:35
trying to minimize a death benefit so we
00:03:38
can maximize maximize the cash value now
00:03:42
there's going to be things that you do
00:03:44
with your money some are going to be
00:03:47
expenses and some are going to be assets
00:03:50
and to determine the difference of the
00:03:53
two we follow Robert Kiyosaki's
00:03:55
definition and he defines an asset
00:03:59
brings cash flow to you an expense takes
00:04:03
cash flow from you very simple
00:04:05
fortunately IBC works for either now
00:04:09
let's take a look at some options here
00:04:11
now let's say you had some debt you want
00:04:18
to use blue
00:04:19
okay let's say you had some debt okay
00:04:24
let's say you want to invest in your
00:04:26
business which we are big proponents of
00:04:29
investing in yourself also maybe you
00:04:32
wanted to own some real estate perfect
00:04:37
okay now what's typically happening is
00:04:43
if you want let's kind of look a little
00:04:46
deeper on buying real estate you either
00:04:50
need to come up with the whole purchase
00:04:52
price to pay for in cash or at least a
00:04:55
down payment but in essence what you're
00:04:57
probably doing is you're saving up money
00:05:00
to buy that house perfect and then once
00:05:05
you have the amount for the for the
00:05:08
house what do you do we drain the
00:05:11
account down to zero but then you want
00:05:15
to buy another property right or another
00:05:17
asset so we do the same thing and then
00:05:23
we drain our account but here's a key
00:05:26
thing we always end up at zero now if I
00:05:32
were to ask you at what point do you
00:05:34
want your money to stop earning compound
00:05:36
interest hopefully you said never right
00:05:40
but the problem is the system you're
00:05:42
using right now breaks at compound
00:05:45
interest curve every single time well
00:05:48
we're going to show you with IBC by
00:05:50
adding one extra step we're going to
00:05:53
show you how you can never break that
00:05:55
compound interest curve it's kind of
00:06:01
like a rewards credit card if you can
00:06:03
understand or rewards credit card you
00:06:05
can understand ibc now why do most
00:06:08
people use a rewards credit card well
00:06:11
I'll tell you the reason that I do is
00:06:13
I'm gonna buy this thing anyways by
00:06:16
adding one extra step I get I get a few
00:06:20
benefits that's exactly what we're doing
00:06:23
with IBC we're adding one extra step and
00:06:26
we're getting some extra benefits let's
00:06:28
see how this works
00:06:32
well now what we're gonna do here is
00:06:34
we're gonna create your family bank now
00:06:42
let's say that you had some debt what
00:06:45
we're gonna do and this part is key
00:06:48
we're not gonna take the money from your
00:06:51
policy we're gonna take it from the
00:06:54
insurance company what the insurance
00:06:56
company is gonna do is they're gonna
00:06:58
kind of like file a lien against your
00:07:01
policy now because we're take we're not
00:07:05
using your money we're using somebody
00:07:07
else's money we have to pay them
00:07:09
interest it's just like an interest-only
00:07:12
line of credit at 5% now a lot of people
00:07:17
get stuck and get caught up there okay
00:07:20
but bear with me we gotta look at the
00:07:22
big picture because what's happening to
00:07:25
the cash value of your policy it's still
00:07:29
growing we never touched your policy at
00:07:34
all we just took a loan against it so
00:07:38
what we would do we would take that loan
00:07:40
proceeds transfer to your family bank
00:07:42
then we use that to pay off the debt now
00:07:47
that we paid off debt we should have
00:07:50
freed up some cash flow that was going
00:07:53
to pay that debt we just redirect it to
00:07:55
your family bank then we take that
00:07:58
payback the insurance company hmm and
00:08:02
then they take off the lien now your
00:08:06
debts paid off and more importantly what
00:08:09
happened to the cash value inside your
00:08:11
policy they continue to grow now this
00:08:16
works for expenses but this is even
00:08:20
better when we're buying assets so let's
00:08:22
take a look let's take this to the next
00:08:24
level and see how this works when buying
00:08:27
real estate so we're gonna do the exact
00:08:32
same process we're gonna borrow not from
00:08:34
your policy but from the insurance
00:08:36
company they're gonna file a lien
00:08:40
against your policy
00:08:43
then we're gonna take that and buy the
00:08:44
real estate that real estate better be
00:08:49
cash flowing if it's not cash flowing
00:08:51
it's probably not a good investment but
00:08:54
what we're gonna do with that cash flow
00:08:56
we're gonna take that pay back the
00:08:59
family bank then we're pay back the
00:09:02
insurance company then they will remove
00:09:06
the lien now we have one cash flowing
00:09:10
property and what happened to our cash
00:09:14
value continue to grow so you know what
00:09:17
we're gonna do
00:09:18
again we're gonna hit the repeat button
00:09:21
we're gonna do that same process over
00:09:23
but now we're gonna have to cash flowing
00:09:26
properties so then in theory couldn't we
00:09:30
pay back that loan the insurance company
00:09:33
twice as fast and then we're gonna once
00:09:37
we do that pay that second one off you
00:09:39
know we're gonna do we're gonna get a
00:09:41
third one what we're going to do is
00:09:44
we're gonna continue to borrow against
00:09:46
your policy to to accumulate more assets
00:09:50
and/or get out of debt one thing that
00:09:53
will happen though is as we're creating
00:09:56
all this cash flow we're gonna try to
00:09:58
put it in the policy there was going to
00:10:00
be a point where the insurance company
00:10:02
will not allow any more cash in it which
00:10:05
when that happens that's when we go and
00:10:08
get another policy and we just continue
00:10:11
this process over and over again and at
00:10:16
some point like let's look at the exit
00:10:18
strategy there's gonna be a point where
00:10:22
you're gonna maybe I kind of don't like
00:10:23
using the word retirement but let's say
00:10:25
we're gonna work less or start winding
00:10:27
down or instead of putting cash flow in
00:10:30
the policy we want to start taking cash
00:10:32
flow out which is perfect that's what
00:10:34
it's for what we would do we start
00:10:38
taking some cash flow from our policy
00:10:40
and if you didn't already know that will
00:10:43
be tax-free and you know what we also
00:10:47
have a real estate portfolio so we
00:10:50
should be taking the cash flow from all
00:10:52
these rental properties I really don't
00:10:54
know how to
00:10:55
draw retirement well I really don't even
00:10:57
know how to draw a period but let's just
00:11:00
say if you have this where hopefully are
00:11:03
going to have a prosperous and
00:11:05
fun-filled remainder of our life now the
00:11:08
key thing here is all we did is we never
00:11:12
broke the compound interest curve we
00:11:14
just continued to use that money to buy
00:11:17
more assets and that's why we say IBC or
00:11:21
whole life is not an investment this is
00:11:24
a cash flow strategy this is just a
00:11:26
better cash flow management to allow you
00:11:29
to invest in things that you are going
00:11:31
to anyways by adding one extra step
00:11:34
we're never breaking that compound
00:11:36
interest curve and if we could never
00:11:39
break that compound interest curve do
00:11:42
you think we're gonna be able to achieve
00:11:43
your goals in less time and with less
00:11:46
risk I hope this was helpful and I hope
00:11:49
you learn more and even do some more
00:11:52
research about the infinite banking
00:11:53
concept go make it a fantastic day
00:11:57
