They unpack why they're not surprised, how IULs actually work under the hood and why those glossy “tax-free retirement” illustrations can fall apart in the real world.

Visit our website: https://www.thewealthwarehousepodcast.com/Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash: https://infinitebanking.org/product/becoming-your-own-banker/ref/46/In this episode, Dave and Paul unpack a core belief that separates seasoned IBC practitioners from the casual policyholder: the commitment to paying premiums forever. Not because they have to, but because they want to.They break down why their policies are designed to get better with age, how they're expecting to earn more in the future than they do today, and why stopping premium payments could actually limit their wealth-building potential.They also get into the IBC mindset of relentlessly capitalizing treating premium payments not as a bill, but as a deposit into their family banking system. As Nelson Nash often said, “You're always going to finance everything you buy, you either pay interest to someone else, or you give up interest you could have earned.” If you've ever wondered whether there's a “stop point” in IBC, or if you're doing it “too aggressively,” this conversation will reframe the entire game.Episode Highlights:0:00 - Introduction1:24 - Episode beginning2:53 - Intentionally planning to pay less premium6:11 - It gets better each year11:16 - “I plan to make more money tomorrow” (than I do today)13:58 - Family loan origination18:32 - Limiting wealth growth22:45 - Prepare for windfalls26:45 - Recapping the episodeABOUT YOUR HOSTS:David Befort and Paul Fugere are the hosts of the Wealth Warehouse Podcast.

How can our relationship with Jesus transform our view of trials we may experience?
