Banks vs. insurance, which is safer is something that we've been asked many times. It's a great question to ask, in fact. People are wanting to know their money won't disappear on them.

And so, the common question we get related to infinite banking is this: "Is my money going to be as safe in the policy as it is, just sitting in a bank account. There's a lot of nuances there.

We believe that it definitely is. There's a lot of reasons for it. Why would we present banks being riskier to put your money in, than a mutual life insurance company, and a policy there?

Banks vs. Insurance Topics Discussed:

  • The federal government and state government's role
  • Austrian economics and why its role in insurance is important
  • Leveraged money vs. Non-leveraged money
  • Factors forcing insurance companies to play it straight with your money
  • The myth and nuance of the FDIC banks protections argument
  • Why banks buy life insurance policies

Episode Takeaways:

Insurance companies actually adhere to what's called Austrian Economics. They can't loan out money they don't have.

Banks failed left and right, and are bailed out. No mutual life insurance company had to get any assistance.

This episode is going to be a fun one. We hear all the time, even in our realm of business, "Maybe I'll get started when I get my tax refund." Or, "I'm looking forward to getting my tax refund, then I'll finally have money."

We have a different viewpoint on it. And we want to make sure everyone else understands, not only about the tax refund, but we also have some other things to say that you may want to implement.

When you think about a tax refund, it's your money you already gave the government to use for a period, or they had it. Whether it be an estimated tax, or by the time you file the taxes, you get the refund.

But, in reality, it was your money that you gave to the government to use, and then they just sent that money back to you. And they didn't send it back to you with interest payments. It's not the same dollars you sent them. It's different dollars, and yet we get excited because, "Yay, we get a refund."

Rethinking Tax Refunds Topics Discussed:

  • Should you get excited about a refund
  • Keeping your money in your control and working for you
  • Ways of leveraging a policy to come out ahead
  • Why Warren Buffet is rumored to differ paying his taxes for up to 7 years

Episode Takeaways:

I will say the IRS is the biggest robber of our wealth out there today.

Why do I want to give the IRS good dollars today for them to give me weaker dollars in the future?

Instead of giving that estimated tax over to the IRS, we've put it into a life insurance policy because the growth will pay any penalty.
