EP169: What is "Infinite Banking" and is it a Scam?
Money Peach
On the show today is America's #1 Money Mentor, Chris Naugle. I'll be honest — I brought Chris to have a conversation on a topic we don't agree on...infinite banking. If you haven't heard of infinite banking before, you're perfectly normal. It's not a very popular term in the financial world and most financial gurus like Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman are completely against it. But, what I've learned over the years in this world of personal finance is not every guru is always right. Therefore, I decided to say "yes" to my guest today so I can ask him the hard questions about... how...

Money Peach
Did you know you can generate passive income and/or diversify your retirement portfolio through Hard Money Lending? A hard money loan is an interest-only short-term loan primarily used in real estate with the loan being secured by property. In a nutshell, you become the "bank" and you lend money to borrowers and receive monthly interest payments just like a bank would receive monthly monthly payments from a mortgage borrower.

info_outlineWhen it comes time to drive off a new car, you have three basic options:
- You can pay cash
- You can get an auto loan
- You can drive off with a lease
But with the average price of a new car at almost $41,000, most drivers today are driving off the lot with either an auto loan or a lease.
❓ But which is better - an car lease or an auto loan?
What are the costs that go with each?
And how do you know if you're making the best financial decision when it comes to driving your next car?
Is there something we are missing when comparing the two?
Today on the show, I will compare the auto loan and car lease, so you can decide which is the best way to drive off the lot in a new car.
But, to start off, the simplest way to separate an auto loan and a lease is by understanding that an auto lease allows you to DRIVE the new car, whereas an auto loan allows you to DRIVE and BUY the car.
❗ ❗ Of course there’s a lot more to it and to tell the whole story let’s jump right in.
