In this episode we review the numbers of the first Infinite Banking policy we bought. We have owned the policy for 18 years now so you could say it’s an adult policy now. Over the years, We have paid lots of premiums on this policy and we have also used policy loans against the cash value for many things. We go over all of it in this episode, episode 463, of The Wealth Talks Podcast.

Most people think life insurance is for when you die, it is, but, you can also use the life benefits of whole life insurance while you’re still alive. What about term insurance though? Is it any good or is it a waste of money?
Many people who have term life insurance now are going to be severely disappointed when their term is up because you can't turn back the clock and get new coverage at the same low rates you had before.

Mark Twain has the credit for saying, “The Return of my money is more important than the return on my money.” It is better to make an investment that returns a small increase as well as your seed money than it is to make an investment that has a large projected return but fails to return your seed money. Warren Buffet said, “The first rule of an investment is don’t lose, The second rule of an investment is don’t forget the first rule and that’s all the rules there are.” If you lose your seed money, how are you going to get ahead financially?
You can earn a positive average rate of return while you're losing money!!
We talk about bad investments, good investments and how to access capital to make investments.

Every time you spend money you are making an investment. It’s either a good investment or a bad investment. Do not buy into the idea that investments have to be something rare, exclusive, elusive, exciting or in a land far away. Some of the best investments are right in front of you, if you can’t see them it’s because you look at everything the way most everyone else does.
You can and should become rich and investing is one of your responsibilities with the money that comes under your control

The savings rate in the US has been going up a bit recently but it’s still lower than what it should be. Generally speaking, people aren’t saving enough money to have financial peace of mind. But when someone does save money there are a host of decisions to be made on how to keep that money.
In this podcast we talk all things savings, how to save money and where to keep money you have saved.

Bad economies rear their ugly head fairly regularly, and while they cause damage to almost everyone, the hardest hit are those who haven’t prepared, or don’t know how to prepare for hard times.
When the economy is booming, it’s easy to think you have everything figured out financially, but during a downturn you better have your ducks in a row, or it could take you under.
Making large financial decisions can be difficult. It’s one thing to analyze the facts once you have them, but sorting through countless opinions looking for facts can be exhausting and overwhelming.
Instead of researching every financial decision, some people like to find a person or expert they mostly agree with, or believe is knowledgeable, and follow their every advice. This may seem easier at first, but often it leads to major financial problems.

Over the last few years things happened in our nation like we’d never seen before. Almost overnight industry stopped, businesses shuttered their doors, shopping centers were empty, and highways deserted. What started out as a temporary 2 week pause dragged on and on. And suddenly the possibility of losing one’s job became very real for many people. What would happen to you and your family if you lost your income? Are you prepared financially? Listen now to Wealth Talks.

What started out as a strange new game in the 1960s, the result of a lost shuttlecock on a family vacation, has suddenly caught on. Pickleball is rapidly growing across America as many people try the sport and then find they can’t stop playing. If you’ve never played, you might find this hard to believe, but pickleball principles can help you financially too! Listen now on Wealth Talks.
We’ve been gaslighted a lot by our government over the last few years. Remember how often we were told “Follow the Science” or “Don’t question the Science”?
Of course, questioning the science should only improve the science, but this can also be dangerous as Galileo discovered with his famous experiment, for which he was persecuted.
This can happen in other areas of life too, even when it comes to financial promotions. Getting gaslighted or even ghosted are part of life and this won’t be changing anytime soon. When you tune your discernment to pick up reality from noise, then you can make decisions to improve your life and your financial results.
Many people set new goals for the new year, but sadly, many people will never make those goals because of poor planning, or even worse, no plan at all. Do you have a good financial plan? This is an episode you will probably find useful as you make plans for 2023. You’ll also hear about the trouble we ran into on the hunt in late October.

Researchers estimate raising a child will cost you 225,000 dollars! This cost does not include any private education, or a college degree... perhaps it isn’t surprising that Americans are having less children. But does raising a child really cost $225,000? Tom and Michele McFie have raised 8 children and they don’t agree with this research. Listen to the episode now.
It is a strange fact that those in power will often destroy the people who put them into power. A recent example is the EAGLE act which will likely destroy the jobs and opportunities of many who voted for the current administration. Strange. Sadly, we see the same sort of sabotage happening in other areas of life too, even coming from executives undermining the confidence of their customers.
But when you know what to look for, it becomes easier to avoid the bad options and choose good products which are still available. This is certainly true when it comes to life insurance.
Many Americans wake up in a bad mood. Researchers estimate the average American will wake up in a bad mood 300 days every year. How terrible! What could be causing this? Today on Wealth Talks, Tom and John discuss something they see behind American’s bad moods.

Skyscrapers, bridges, and nations are all built on foundations. A good foundation will last for many years but, if not maintained, it will eventually crumble. Today, Tom and Michele McFie discuss America’s foundation, it’s dangerous condition and our duty to maintain it.
It’s more fun to talk about a bomb exploding in the middle east than a local road the city plans to build through a quiet neighborhood. Why? Because sensationalism sells! Just because sensationalism is being sold doesn’t mean we should buy it.
Today on Wealth Talks, Tom and John discuss the perils of buying sensationalism.

There are many false teachings about life insurance. Some attempt to portray life insurance as a terrible product, while others attempt to make it magical. Sadly, many false teachings seem logical, which makes them even more dangerous. Today on Wealth Talks, Tom and John discuss some of the false teachings about life insurance (you’ve probably heard of them).

The American system of government based upon “the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God”, has facilitated the largest burst of creativity, wealth production and accumulation in all human history.
Within this system there is always conflict between extremes which tends to find a working balance in different ways at different times. When a viable balance is achieved during the struggle for equilibrium, human energy is harnessed in amazing ways resulting in remarkable production of wealth. When an extreme human-created ideology prevails on either end of a spectrum, wealth tends to be suppressed and even destroyed.
Of course, not all struggles are political in nature. Some take place within the financial world, within specific industries or even within a religion. Some issues carry widespread implications while others are more local in nature.
It helps to recognize that extremists tend toward chaos and tyranny, but a balanced perspective creates an environment of greater freedom which is exactly the recipe needed for growing and protecting wealth at a personal/family level.
Some issues are obviously macro-level, which no one person can change overnight; but many small decisions can be made at an individual level to help your own life more become balanced and effective as well as assisting the pendulum to swing the appropriate way at the macro level.
