    What's the Best Policy for Infinite Banking?

    What's the Best Policy for Infinite Banking?

    There’s been a lot of buzz around Universal Life Insurance policies. Mostly because they offer great flexibility in their premiums, and they sound great at first glance.
    So you might be wondering: is this a better way to do infinite banking?
    That’s what I’m talking about today on the podcast. I’ll explain what Universal Life Insurance is, and why there are several types. And I’ll tell you why I still believe whole life insurance is the way to go.

(10:00) Nelson Nash’s guiding principle that lets you use IBC even if you never have a bank account or insurance policy. (11:36) Shocking details lurking inside universal life policies.
