Chapter 1 of Building Your Warehouse of Wealth (Nelson Nash) hits hard: government programs, fractional reserve banking, and how weāve become āpart of the problemā by chasing cheap loans and rates of return.
We contrast banks (who lend money that doesnāt exist) with mutual life insurance companies (who donāt inflate money and invest conservatively).
Youāll learn why policy loans arenāt withdrawals, why whole life beats UL/IUL/VUL for guarantees and control, and how to classify your policy correctly... as an asset with liquidity, control, and a tax-advantaged end-of-life benefit.
Key Takeaways:
ā¦ Classify correctly: Whole life is an asset, not an expense.
ā¦ Banks vs Insurers: Banks inflate; mutual insurers donāt.
ā¦ Policy loans ā withdrawals: Your cash value keeps compounding while you borrow against it.
ā¦ Owner priority: You outrank every other borrower for your policyās cash value.
ā¦ Avoid rate-chasing: UL/IUL/VUL = non-guaranteed costs and moving parts; IBC prioritizes liquidity, control, and guarantees.
ā¦ Donāt be part of the problem: Think twice about HELOCs/premium financing/velocity banking to fund policies.
