Privatized Banking

Once you have learned the fundamentals of Infinite Banking and decided to put it into action, one question tends to surface almost immediately: What is the best whole life insurance company for Infinite Banking? It is a good question. The carrier you choose forms a long-term relationship, one that stays in place for the rest…

A straight life policy is simply the base of a whole life insurance contract: a level premium that never changes, a guaranteed death benefit, and guaranteed cash value.

It’s one of those assumptions that gets repeated so often it starts to feel like a rule. But it isn’t. A limited pay life insurance policy lets you fully…

Few financial products generate as much excitement (or possibly as much confusion) as indexed universal life insurance.  IUL insurance has become one of the most aggressively marketed policy types in the industry, pitched with language that sounds almost too good to overlook, including terms such as market-linked upside, downside protection, tax-advantaged growth, and flexible premiums.…
