FAA Medical Disqualification Just Cost You $300k (Here's How to Protect It)Are you flying your finances blind? For many airline pilots, a $300,000 annual income is just one medical disqualification away from becoming zero. In this episode, Paul Fugere and David Befort discuss why traditional financial planning—like locking wealth in a 401k or the walls of your home—can leave pilots grounded and liquid-poor when they need cash the most.We dive into the "financial walk-around" every pilot needs to perform to ensure their family's safety and their own financial "airworthiness".https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/In This Episode, You'll Learn:The Fragility of the First-Class Medical: Why 1 in 20 pilots are on long-term disability at any given time.The 260% Danger Zone: Why medical denial rates spike between the ages of 45 and 55.The "No-Brainer" Insurance Rider: How the Disability Waiver of Premium ensures your policy continues to grow even if you lose your ability to fly.Aviate, Navigate, Communicate: Applying the first rule of flight to your money—why liquidity is the "fuel" that keeps your financial engine running.The Power of IBC for Pilots: How to use windfalls like profit-sharing bonuses, back pay, and green slips to build a private "war chest" you control.Key Statistics for Aviators:Nearly 5 out of every 1,000 active airline pilots are denied medical certification annually.Standard long-term disability often only covers 50% of your average paycheck—could you maintain your lifestyle on half your income?.Typical company-provided life insurance (often $1M) may only cover 4-5 years of income, leaving families vulnerable in the long term.About your hosts: https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/David Befort and Paul Fugere are the hosts of the Wealth Warehouse Podcast.

You've read Nelson Nash. You're sold on IBC. But now what? What actually happens when you reach out to an agency like Remnant Finance?This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at our entire process—from the first intro call to policy delivery and years of ongoing service. We break down the three things you should look for in an advisor (and why only two of them are actually required), explain why we start underwriting before we've finalized your policy design, and get honest about what kind of client we work best with.We also talk about what separates good IBC practitioners from agents who just have a license and a pitch. Spoiler: most people selling life insurance know less about it than you will after a few calls with us. That's not arrogance—our own company reps have told us that.If you're evaluating whether to work with us or someone else, this episode gives you the full picture of what we do, how we do it, and why we do it that way.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment03:25 – The problem with "I can do IBC" advisors at big firms06:30 – The three credentials: license, company contract, NNI certification08:35 – Why getting a life license is dangerously easy09:45 – Company selection: mutual companies and what makes them IBC-ready10:45 – Captive vs. independent agents13:05 – Why we work with two primary carriers21:05 – What NNI certification actually involves23:45 – Why insurance companies love NNI business (persistency)28:05 – Our process starts: the intro call31:00 – When IBC isn't the right fit (yet)33:00 – Why we filter for worldview—and why that's actually good for you36:45 – "If you have to drag them in, you'll have to drag them around"37:15 – The intake form and application process38:25 – Why we apply for more coverage than you might need43:50 – How underwriting requirements work (the flow chart)47:25 – Strategy calls while underwriting happens in the background52:15 – Policy review: Loom walkthrough vs. live Zoom call55:00 – Policy in force—now what?56:45 – The range of ongoing service: hands-off to hands-on59:00 – There's no industry requirement for ongoing service—ask your agent1:04:45 – Closing thoughts and how to book a callKey Takeaways:A license is just the first step. Getting a life license is easy—memorize a study guide, pay a fee, pass a test. It doesn't mean someone knows how to structure a policy for IBC.Company selection is critical. Only about 10-12 mutual companies can write policies the way Nelson Nash taught. Your agent needs a contract with one of them—and ideally understands the differences between them.Captive agents are limited. If your advisor works for a single company (like Northwestern Mutual), they can only offer that company's products. Independent brokers can match you with the carrier that fits your situation.NNI certification isn't required, but it matters. It's not a legal requirement to sell IBC-style policies, but it signals that an advisor has gone through specific training in Nelson Nash's methodology and stays connected to ongoing education.We start underwriting early—on purpose. The application process takes 4-6+ weeks. We submit it before finalizing your policy structure so the company is waiting on us, not the other way around. Think of it like a mortgage pre-approval.Education happens throughout. Expect 2-4+ calls before your policy is even issued. We want you to understand what you're buying, how it works, and how to use it. This should be the asset you understand the most.

In this episode, the three Mikes revisit a foundational concept of Infinite Banking: banking is a process, not a product. We begin with Mike Everett going back to the basics, walking through how Nelson Nash framed this idea in Becoming Your Own Banker, and grounding it with real-world experience from working with clients in practice—not theory. Then Mike Kwong unpacks how Income Stacking through DIBS and IBC creates a powerful, repeatable system for cash flow, control, and long-term wealth building. Together, the conversation highlights why lasting financial success comes from building sound processes, not chasing products. The post Building Wealth Through Process, not Products appeared first on Life Success Legacy.

Caleb Guilliams & Chris Naugle ( @TheChrisNaugle ) showcase a brand new calculator that demonstrates the true value of whole life insurance compared to other assets.

Hans breaks down the yen carry trade, quantitative easing, and why the 10-year Treasury isn't budging despite Fed rate cuts. Brian connects it back to what matters: how you position your family's finances when nobody knows what's coming next.The tension is real. On one hand, the debasement trade says go long equities—they're going to keep printing money and asset prices will rise. On the other hand, forward P/E ratios are at 23x, historically correlated with flat or negative real returns over the next decade.

Elevated P/E ratios say expect flat returns. Both are valid—which is why you need exposure to both growth and guarantees.The Fed Isn't the Root Problem: Congress can't stop spending. The Fed enables it by monetizing debt through quantitative easing. Until spending stops, money printing won't stop.The Bond Market Doesn't Believe the Fed: Rate cuts should lower mortgage rates. They haven't. The 10-year Treasury is rising because bond buyers are pricing in continued inflation and fiscal recklessness.Forward P/E Matters: At 23x, historical data shows a strong correlation with flat inflation-adjusted returns over the next decade. That's not a prediction—it's a data point worth considering.AI Changes Everything (Maybe): What took 30 years of internet development now happens in 12 months with AI. It could accelerate productivity beyond anything we've measured—or it could be a bubble. Nobody knows. Plan accordingly.Book a call: https://remnantfinance.com/calendar ! The Fed just cut rates. Japan just raised theirs to a 30-year high. The bond market is calling the Fed's bluff. And Congress keeps maxing out credit cards while writing their own spending limit increases. What does this mean for your money—and how do you plan when the signals are screaming opposite things?The Dual Paths of Wealth: You're always walking two roads—protection and growth. Whole life insurance designed for IBC lets you do both simultaneously: guaranteed savings you can leverage into growth assets without abandoning either path.

Long-term care has quickly become one of the greatest financial and emotional pressures facing American families. Rising costs, longer life expectancy, and limited insurance coverage have created a situation few retirees are prepared for. On today's episode of Faith and Finance, Harlan Accola joins us to explore this issue. He leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage and works closely with families navigating long-term care decisions.Accola describes long-term care as “the elephant in the room.” As Baby Boomers age and care needs rise, families are trying to balance support for aging parents with raising children and managing their own financial responsibilities. Many households avoid discussing care needs until a crisis forces difficult decisions.The numbers reveal why planning is essential. Studies estimate that between 50% and 70% of retirees will require some level of long-term care during their lives. Yet more than 90% of those individuals have not purchased long-term care insurance—and many assume Medicare will cover the cost of nursing or assisted living facilities. In reality, Medicare provides limited short-term rehabilitation benefits, while long-term care typically falls under Medicaid, which only applies once a person has depleted most of their financial assets.Costs vary widely by region, but nursing facilities can range from $80,000 to $120,000 per year, and in-home care providers may charge $30–$40 per hour. Just one or two years of intensive care can rapidly deplete savings intended to last decades in retirement.One of the most overlooked financial risks is the well-being of the surviving spouse. Accola notes that husbands often require extensive care first, and the assets used to pay for their care can leave their wives financially vulnerable after their passing. Without adequate planning, the surviving spouse may face an underfunded retirement and fewer choices for her own care needs.To address this gap, families are encouraged to expand their planning tools. One strategy Accola highlights is to tap housing wealth through reverse mortgages. Because many retirees have significant equity tied up in their homes, a reverse mortgage can unlock funds without requiring monthly payments. These tax-free dollars can be used to pay for in-home care, cover long-term care insurance premiums, or bridge the gap between retirement income and care costs. It also allows individuals to remain at home longer—often delaying or avoiding the need for costly facility care—and preserves retirement accounts for the surviving spouse.Accola emphasizes that reverse mortgages are not a universal solution, but they should be included in the suite of planning options that families evaluate, alongside insurance, savings strategies, and Medicaid planning. Far too many households ignore the issue entirely or assume Medicare will handle it.As long-term care needs continue to rise, proactive planning is no longer optional. Exploring the full range of financial tools available can reduce stress, protect surviving spouses, and provide dignity and stability during the later stages of life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 66 and plan to retire at 70. I can take full Social Security at 66 and 10 months. Should I start benefits now while continuing to work full-time, or wait? If I take it now, should I place the funds in an IUL, an IBC strategy, or invest through my Edward Jones account?I've borrowed from my 401(k) several times over the past decade and paid myself interest. Since I hate paying interest on loans like auto loans, is borrowing from my 401(k) a better option than taking a regular loan? If an auto loan is at 5–6%, would it be better to borrow directly from the bank?If I make small extra payments each month on my mortgage and loan, is that roughly equivalent to making a single lump-sum principal payment each year, or does the timing make a difference?I have a question about IRA beneficiaries. If someone inherits an IRA, what would the tax implications be, and is there a better way to pass the money on than simply naming a beneficiary?My husband and I are 45 and 50, and we're considering a 1031 exchange on a property with about $250,000 in capital gains and $15,000 remaining on the mortgage. Should we move forward with the exchange, or would a different strategy make more sense?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Movement MortgageWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Did you know that successful investors don't outgrow Infinite Banking? They just learn why paying cash quietly erodes their wealth. In today's conversation, the financial coaches take a deeper look at whether Infinite Banking still makes sense for seasoned investors with passive income already flowing. They explain why high-income earners and experienced investors should rethink how they use cash and how IBC becomes even more valuable as wealth grows. The coaches explain the hidden cost of paying cash for deals, the concept of cash drag, and how wealthy institutions use dividend-paying whole life insurance to create liquidity, protection, and long-term compounding.Listeners will learn why IBC is not just a beginner's tool, but a system that scales with them as their portfolio expands. This discussion helps investors determine whether Infinite Banking strengthens or slows their wealth-building strategy and teaches them how to build a financial system that supports smarter investing decisions.Top three things you will learn:-Why Infinite Banking becomes more valuable as investors scale their portfolios-How cash drag destroys returns and how IBC keeps money compounding-How to use IBC to build a long-term wealth engineDisclaimer: The opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and do not constitute financial advice.

Joe Withrow, Brian Moody, and Hans Toohey deliver a joint strategy session on building a financial foundation that survives contact with reality. Why does traditional financial planning put growth before protection? What happens when your plan gets punched in the face? And why is Infinite Banking the only savings vehicle that accomplishes two critical goals simultaneously?Most people have been trained to think their 401(k) is savings and their term life insurance is "just in case." They're told to focus on growth—index funds, average rates of return, retirement projections—while protection and actual savings become afterthoughts. But when job loss hits, disability strikes, or markets crater, the whole plan collapses. This episode reveals the proper order of operations: protect first, save second, grow third. Hans breaks down why "average rate of return" is a meaningless data point. Brian illustrates the parallel paths of protection and wealth accumulation with the diagram that makes it all click. And Joe explains why buying insurance isn't an expense if you do it correctly—it's saving money that immediately becomes accessible capital.The conversation covers IBC mechanics, policy loans that don't disrupt compounding, real estate purchases funded with cash value, the power of dinner table time for passing down values, and why building generational wealth starts with one decision: get the foundation right, then everything else becomes possible.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment01:25 - New Year's resolutions: tangible goals vs. vague aspirations08:50 - The invention of "Retirement Inc." in the 1970s11:05 - Protect, Save, Grow: the proper order of operations13:10 - What traditional CFPs get wrong about protection14:35 - Why "average rate of return" is a useless metric16:40 - Brian's parallel paths diagram begins19:30 - The two parallel paths: protection and wealth accumulation22:30 - What can disrupt the wealth curve?

Is your money working as hard as it could? In this episode, Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso discuss the critical topic of dividends and their role in infinite banking (IBC). Dividends aren't just industry news—they directly impact the cash value of IBC policies, loan repayment flexibility, and the potential to redeploy capital into passive income opportunities. While most investors view dividends as a general industry trend, IBC users understand their deeper importance. Cameron and Anthony explain the difference between a dividend and the dividend interest rate (DIR), why understanding these metrics matters for IBC, and how companies such as Penn Mutual, Lafayette Life, and MassMutual have shown steady dividend growth year after year. You will learn why you shouldn't focus solely on the dividend rate, but also pay attention to your insurance company's overall financial health.  Tune in for insights on how smart IBC users leverage dividends to build more flexibility, control, and growth. In This Episode: - Definition of dividends and the dividend interest rates - Why dividends matter for IBC users - Penn Mutual, Lafayette Life, and MassMutual's dividend performance - Why some companies don't declare their dividend interest rates - Why you shouldn't focus solely on the dividend rate - What do dividends mean for people practicing infinite banking? - How dividends impact cash value and loan repayment flexibility - Why looking at the dividends and dividend rates matters   Resources: 

Explore how cash accumulation and cash flow shape two distinct pathways within the Infinite Banking Concept, revealing how each approach influences control, liquidity, and long-term growth. This episode uncovers insights that challenge traditional assumptions and invite deeper thinking about how wealth can be structured.   Watch the complete IBC presentation here: https://bit.ly/tmm-podcast-ppt.   Share questions or feedback anytime at: podcast@themoneymultiplier.com.   Explore additional tools and guides here: https://linktr.ee/themoneymultiplier.

Brian breaks down the most misunderstood aspect of Infinite Banking: loan repayments. Why do we pay ourselves back at market rates? What does EVA actually mean? And what happens when you pay yourself more than the insurance company charges?Most people think being their own banker means they can be loose with repayment—skip payments, pay whenever, charge themselves whatever rate feels right. You can, per the contract. But should you? This episode reveals why maintaining market-rate discipline for the full loan duration is what separates wealth builders from people who just talk about IBC. Brian explains where that "extra interest" actually goes, how to decide how much to pay against your loan, and how Parkinson's Law can destroy generational wealth before it ever gets started.Discipline is what builds legacy wealth. Without it, you're just the worst kind of bank: one with no standards, no discipline, and ultimately no capital.00:00 - Opening segment00:40 - Introduction: Why loan repayments trip people up01:30 - Policy loan mechanics: you're not withdrawing, you're borrowing02:10 - Economic Value Added (EVA): the fundamental principle03:05 - Why people go sideways: thinking interest doesn't matter03:30 - Nelson Nash's recommendation: pay market rates for full duration04:40 - What "market rates" actually means05:20 - Maintaining discipline that creates wealth06:30 - The $30K car loan example at 5% over 5 years07:25 - Where does the extra interest go when you pay yourself more?08:30 - The insurance company doesn't care what rate you calculate09:30 - Should you keep paying after the loan is satisfied early?11:00 - Where most people sabotage themselves: the early payoff trap11:30 - Parkinson's Law: expenses rise to meet income12:50 - What to do when your PUAs are maxed out14:00 - Capital deployment vs. consumption: know the difference14:20 - Parkinson's Law destroys generational wealth16:00 - The temptation to "save on interest" (you're paying yourself)17:00 - "But I can make more investing elsewhere" - the speculation trap18:10 - IBC isn't about loopholes, it's about discipline19:10 - Practical implementation: set up auto-pay, treat it like any loan19:40 - The $40K truck example: paying 7% when insurance charges 5%22:30 - Decision tree when your policy is truly maxed26:15 - Income doesn't equal wealth: the $500K pilot who's broke27:00 - The $80K family building dynastic wealth28:40 - Final recap: market rates, full duration, have a plan30:00 - EVA: every loan should create value, every payment should build30:45 - If your practitioner says rates don't matter, run31:20 - The Moody Family Creed and how it applies here31:50 - Closing thoughtsEconomic Value Added (EVA): The fundamental question: did the thing you financed produce more value than the loan cost you? Borrow at 5%, asset returns 8% = positive EVA. Borrow at 5%, thing depreciates = negative EVA.Pay Yourself Market Rates: Nelson Nash recommended paying loans back at market rates or higher— at least what you'd pay elsewhere for similar financing. This maintains the discipline that creates wealth.The Full Duration Principle: Even if you pay a loan off early by using higher interest rates, keep making those payments for the full original term. A 5-year loan means 5 years of payments to your system. The Early Payoff Trap: This is where most people sabotage themselves.

Special episodes happen on the regular around here, but this one is something extra special: our live recording right after a screening of the 1988 holiday classic, Scrooged! We gathered an amazing audience at the Oriental Theatre to watch the movie and have a chat about Bill Murray's performance as Frank Cross, the youngest network president in television history who's got a long night ahead of him.Does this four-decades-old film still hit? We tackled that question, along with some fun facts about Murray's acting hiatus after Ghostbusters and his on-set conflicts with director Richard Donner. You'll also hear us dive into why this is a "very pro-therapy movie" and debate who should play the Frank Cross role if the movie were cast today. Our audience was eager to share their opinions as well and compete in Bill Murray trivia for truly impressive prizes. including an IBC towel and an autographed (possibly broken) VHS player! Grab some popcorn and enjoy this fun, chaotic celebration of an '80s holiday favorite.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

249: In this episode, I'm talking with intuitive money coach Danielle McKinley about money stories, contentment, and the infinite banking concept (IBC), a strategy I've personally used for the past five years.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/249)We dig into why her nine-figure software exit felt strangely empty, how childhood money trauma shaped her drive for safety, and how she created a “contentment filter” to build wealth that actually supports the life you want… instead of chasing numbers that don't make you any happier.Then we take an honest, non-pitch look at infinite banking:What it is (in plain English),How real estate and land investors can use it,How it really compares to 401(k) loans,Why banks quietly use the same strategy, andHow to avoid getting sold the wrong life insurance policy with huge commissions.If you've heard about using whole life insurance as your “personal bank” for deals, but you're confused or skeptical, this conversation will clear up a lot.

In this follow-up episode of Cashflow Legendz, Nate and Brock continue their deep dive into Nelson Nash's Becoming Your Own Banker, zooming in on page 53—a quiet but crucial turning point in the Equipment Financing section. Page 53 is where Nash drives home the reality of what happens when people fail to properly capitalize their system.

This episode explores the core lessons of page 53, including:

In this episode, Chris sits down with Steve Harmon—an intentional, goal-driven person whose path into Infinite Banking wasn't exactly smooth. Steve hit a few bumps early on, but instead of backing off, he leaned in, learned fast, and turned those lessons into a mission. Today, he's become a trusted voice and go-to resource in the IBC community, helping others avoid the same pitfalls and implement the strategy with clarity and confidence. Steve's story is equal parts honest and inspiring—and his purpose behind the work is the kind that sticks with you. The post Interview with Steve Harmon appeared first on Life Success Legacy.

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim breaks down 10 universal success habits every top performer uses—whether they realize it or not. From structured mornings to time blocking, from health optimization to rapid-fire execution, these habits create predictable momentum. And when paired with Infinite Banking, they become a wealth engine on purpose. Jim also answers a pressing IBC question from the community: Can you run all of your W-2 income through your own banking system? Yes—but there's a smarter way to approach it if your goal is velocity, not theory. It's not motivation that builds wealth—it's structure, reflection, and action. This episode hands you all three. What You'll Learn: The IBC Question: Can you run all your W-2 income through your bank? The 10 Habits of Highly Productive People Decide → Act → Adjust. Stop waiting for the perfect system. Build it. Action Steps Build your Ideal Week and compare it to your real one. Write your top goal 25 times daily for one week. Track your circle: Who gives energy—and who drains it?

After a long break, The Clink returns with a brand-new season — and we’re kicking it off because you, the audience, demanded it. The messages, the comments, the votes tall made it clear: the people wanted The Clink back. In this season opener, host Brent tells the truth behind the nine-week hiatus, the personal loss he’s endured, and why your support pulled him back into the chair. Then he sits down with Daniel Mac the man behind the explosive International Brawling Championship for his first deep and raw conversation about the rise of IBC, the journey from rock bottom to national broadcast deals, and the resilience required to build something from nothing. A powerful start to the new season, driven by the listeners who refused to let this show disappear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Visit our website:https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/Travis Fairbairn joins Dave and Paul for a fun, super practical chat on Infinite Banking. He details his journey as a corporate jet pilot and how he found IBC, put it to work, and started “stacking notes” to turn policy loans into predictable cash flow. You'll hear the story behind it, why using a dollar in more than one place clicked for him, and how he funds big purchases and even premiums through his system. If you're IBC-curious or already running policies and want ideas to put cash value to work without losing liquidity, this one's your lane.

Bitcoin fans say it's the future. I say: show me how it actually solves real-world money problems. In this episode, I walk through the biggest unanswered questions I still have about Bitcoin: volatility, inheritance keys, "who's in charge," government visibility, and why I still prefer AND assets like dividend-paying whole life over OR assets like BTC.

Starting an IBC policy when everything feels worst? That's exactly how Nelson Nash discovered Infinite Banking, when bank rates hit 23% and leverage turned on him. Here's what he did, why it worked, and how to avoid the same traps.

Visit our website:https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/Dave and Paul open the vault on how they actually put cash value to work. Join other Infinite Banking practitioners as they discuss how they look for low risk, repeatable opportunities that fit an IBC plan, and why a simple amortized note can create steady cash flow that helps retire policy loans faster. Additionally, Dave, Paul and co. walk through using policy loans with intention, keeping repayments flexible, and sequencing a windfall or savings into premiums without losing liquidity.Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash:https://infinitebanking.org/product/becoming-your-own-banker/ref/46/Episode Highlights:0:00 - Episode beginning and introduction3:28 - Deal filter: risk, consistency, repayment6:15 - What the “note” is, terms and break-even10:57 - Option 1 recap11:57 - Option 213:38 - Second note15:16 - Third note17:50 - Option 322:59 - Taxes: interest front-loaded on amortization28:34 - $100k example → ~$2,100/mo; start Policy B30:28 - Repayment tactics44:36 - Keep an emergency buffer; $2,500 min to start58:29 - The math most miss1:04:40 - Wrap-up + next stepsABOUT YOUR HOSTS:David Befort and Paul Fugere are the hosts of the Wealth Warehouse Podcast.
