We have been using the Infinite Banking Concept personally for 19 years at this point. Although the way we have used it changes over the years as the economic environment changes, The Infinite Banking concept still works just as good as ever.

The Infinite Banking Concept is an idea, It’s how you think about money.

New Years are incredibly popular times people resolve to improve their lives and their futures, but tragically they tend to be the beginning of yet another failure to people who don’t plan first, then prepare and then take action on their programs.

We want to encourage you to take a moment and make a plan to succeed in 2025, once you have a plan together then you will know how to prepare for action and that will put you on the trail to accomplishing your goals.

Over the last 16 years, dozens of people, probably hundreds of people have said, “I wish I had started this sooner.” But never have I heard anyone say, “I wish I would have waited a little longer to get started.”

Recently Tucker Carlson interviewed Dave Ramsey. Dave Ramsey is a well known name in personal finance. I listened to the interview, I was impressed. 

Dave has a large personality and although we disagree with him strongly on certain points especially, life insurance and money management, he can be a good wake up call for people who are living in the bondage of debt, spending more money than they make and not getting ahead financially in life.

We have helped many people who first started with Dave Ramsey to get in control of their financial lives.

Dave Ramsey will probably never understand Whole life insurance and the power of the Infinite Banking Concept, but he does help people who are in bad financial shape get control of their situation.

Once someone is in control of their financial life, we hope they will continue to learn and grow, become better money managers and start a legacy of financial freedom in their family.

There is a report showing that over 5800 IRS and contractor employees owe nearly 50 million dollars of overdue taxes.

It also appears by the looks of things that many of the employees are wilfully evading taxes… It seems like they know the system well enough to know how much they can get away with and they’re doing it.

The IRS acknowledges this is happening, they seem to have metrics on it because out of the 70 employees who they claim are “willfully evading” taxes, they have fired 20.

What do you think would happen if every American started to evade taxes, but less than one third of them had any consequences for doing so?

Listen Now and tell us what you think in the comments.

It has been said that the next generation will be able to rise as high as they can rise by standing on the shoulders of the generation before them. My Dad gave my siblings and me the opportunity to rise higher with the foundation he gave us, and in turn, we hope to do the same for our children.

It is a beautiful thing to see how the actions of a person can aid their posterity. It is a tragic thing to see how the actions of a person can setback their legacy and stunt their posterity.

This is a story that my Dad told to me when I was younger, about his Mom (my Grandma) and her next door neighbor who was a thief.

My Grandma caught and confronted her neighbor stealing from her, right in front of her nose. 
The way she put an end to the robbery, was genius. It will bring you a chuckle... and also some wisdom.

Here is the story in detail.  Enjoy!

P.S.
My daughters Anna and Gracine took this story and wrote and illustrated an entertaining children's book based on this story.... as you can probably guess. I highly recommend.

You can order it on our website here, and get it for Christmas: https://mcfieinsurance.com/store-detail/#GrandmasCoffeeCan

It has been said that the healthiest of all human emotions is Gratitude.

This is Thanksgiving week, on Thursday we take the whole day off to give thanks for wonderful things in our lives.

The more you express your gratitude, the more you have to be grateful for. Kind of like work. The more work you do, the more work you will have to do. What you focus on expands

There is so much to be thankful for and we probably don’t spend as much time as we should feeling it. Here are some things we're thankful for, and also a fun "grateful" activity you can try out at thanksgiving this year.  Listen Now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

In sports, when the whistle blows the play stops. It’s what happens after the whistle blows that determines the course of the game.

Blowing the whistle is the first and most monumental step in getting different results in life. What you do, after the sound of the whistle has faded, is the biggest contributing factor to the results you will eventually get.

We hope you can see why we think you should have a whistle protocol in your life. We want you to succeed in the greatest way possible.

Voting is a Duty. To use the words of early president John Quincy Adams, "duty is ours, results are God's".

Not voting in a U.S. election would be to shirk our duty and let our fellow Americans down.

There is no patriotic way to sit on the sidelines and not vote in an election.

If you are a citizen of the united states, you have a duty to discharge.

Listen to this before the polls close. Voting is a duty.

The topic for today’s podcast is investment banking. We think that if you act like an investment banker in your own life you will be more profitable and get ahead faster financially.

The way you think and what you think about is the foundation for what you do. If you can think like an investment banker, and act in accordance, you can have opportunities to grow your wealth like banks and businesses.

In specific situations it is beneficial to think like a banker. I tell people “You need to put on your banker’s hat.”

If you have a small business or entity that requires filing with your state, there’s a new rule you need to comply with by registering with FinCen. The filing is mandatory and the consequences are massive for not complying.

It is estimated that 50% or more of small business owners do not know about this rule. Make sure you listen to this episode so you know what to do. Expert Attorney Lee Phillips will explain who, and when you need to register, and also how.

We’ve worked with Attorney Lee Phillips over the years to develop asset protection for businesses and individuals, using things like LLCs, S corps, wills and trusts etc. Attorney Phillips is a great asset, and today you get to learn from him on Wealth Talks Podcast.

Some people have owned whole life insurance for several years and they want to get more involved with infinite banking. They want to make sure that they are using the infinite banking concept and their policy to their best advantage. That’s good. Today we are going to talk about how to do that.

Some things we will talk about in this episode will be:

Should you borrow from your cash value for everything?
When should you take a policy loan?
Do you have to pay back a policy loan?
Should you pay back a policy loan fast?
Can someone own multiple policies?

ENJOY!

There are lots of different types of life insurance policies out there. Some are good, some are bad. Life insurance is sold by honest and dishonest people. If you want a policy that helps you keep more of the money you make, grow your wealth and give you financial peace of mind, make sure you get a good policy and buy it from someone who has good character.

Being in the financial space like we are, we get asked about what will happen if the dollar collapses, we get asked what we think about cryptocurrency. Do we think the dollar is doomed? Do we think Crypto is a good investment? Do we think Crypto will replace the dollar? We’re going to talk about all of this right here right now, buckle up. 

One of the most well known cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin. I don’t own Bitcoin, but we have clients who do, some of them did very well when bitcoin went up so significantly in 2020. 

That’s one side of the coin, the other side of the coin is that we have clients who believed so strongly in the future of Bitcoin that they mortgaged their home to buy it and ended up losing their house.

A lot of people have Trust issues... we're not talking about psychological trust issues, we're talking about issues they have with a legal Trust.

One of the Trust issues people have is simply not having any Trust at all. That’s an issue because Trusts keep estates out of probate!

There are many legal tools available that can provide specific benefits in specific situations. Many of the legal tools that are used by the wealthiest people have been established to grant the wealthiest people exceptions to rules. You don’t have to be extremely rich to use and benefit from the same legal tools, but on the other hand, just because they are available doesn’t mean you should or have to use them.

The more you know about the legal tools available, how they work, the benefits they can provide, and the problems they can create the better decisions you can make to grow and protect your wealth.

Are you bored with your budget?  Are you tired of feeling frustrated and limited?

Budgeting doesn’t have to be boring. If you structure your budget the right way, you can feel free and creative instead of trapped.

To be effective, a budget has to be practical and also flexible.

Listen to this episode and discover some new creative ways to work your budget. Budgeting can be fun and extremely rewarding, if you do it the right way.

Many people think slavery in America was a thing of the past, we fought a civil war to end it and we’re glad it’s gone, but there are many people today who are enslaved.

We are talking about financial slavery and how to escape the bonds of financial slavery today right now on Wealth Talks.

Someone asked us to respond to the opening and closing ceremony at the 2024 Olympics, Brett asked us to talk about what someone should do with the money if they win the lottery, and Carlo asks if we had the choice between taking retirement benefits at $7800/mo. with lifetime free medical vs a lump sum of $1.5million dollars which one we would choose.

3 completely different questions, but all interesting in their own way. We are going to talk about all three of these things today right here on Wealth Talks.

If you own a business you can absolutely use the infinite banking concept to fund business expenses and that’s what we are going to talk about right now in this episode of the Wealth Talks podcast.

A lot of business owners want to use infinite banking to finance business expenses because of the intrinsic benefits. We’re going to talk about the benefits and also the process of using the infinite banking concept for business.There are a few things you want to get right to get all of the benefits and have no problems.

The benefits include tax benefits, time savings, increased profits, more productivity, cost savings, flexibility for loan repayments, better cash flow and peace of mind.

In this episode we talk about:
• Real concrete examples of a business loan and the results
• How to use the infinite banking concept to help with taxes
• How you can keep the interest personally that your business pays on the loan
• How you can finance equipment that will increase productivity
• How to get a discount on subscriptions and commercial insurances by paying in advance
• How to defer loan repayments to a more lucrative season if necessary to improve cash flow

In this podcast we are talking about the problems with the infinite banking concept.  

The infinite banking concept is an idea not a product. The infinite banking concept is a way of thinking about money and finance in a way that allows you to keep more of the money you make, grow your wealth and have financial peace of mind. 

Some people think the infinite banking concept is a life insurance policy. Or that a life insurance policy is an infinite bank. It is not. The only reason life insurance is associated with Infinite Banking at all, is because life insurance has tax preferred treatment, gives the owner reasonable growth on their money, provides protection and lets the owner leverage their money without giving up policy growth or guarantees. 

Some big problems we see when people try and get set up with the Infinite Banking Concept are:

• Too big of premiums

• Borrowing to pay premiums

• Borrowing and repaying loans just because

 You can avoid these problems and be successful with the infinite banking concept by learning how it works and implementing it correctly. We will cover that in this podcast too. 

If you have a question about the Infinite Banking Concept, ask your question in the comments, or send an email to producer@wealthtalks.com so we can answer your questions right here in the studio.

If you wonder how much life insurance you need? Or how much life insurance you need for infinite banking? This is your podcast.

The most honest answer to the question of, “How much life insurance do I need?” is, “Nobody knows”. And the shortest answer to the question of “how much life insurance should I have” is probably, "MORE!" ... let us explain

A lot of people settle for the life insurance they’re offered through work or from a friend, some people don’t have any life insurance at all, but people who understand how life insurance works want it and they want specific policies and certain amounts.

We are going to talk about how to get the life insurance you want, how to use the cash value while you’re alive and how to provide financial peace of mind for your family when you die.
