Shownotes Transcript

Join David Befort and Paul Fugere on Episode 34 of the Wealth Warehouse!

When it comes to IBC, research is just as important as designing your policy properly. You need to “get” IBC as a concept and understand not only how it works, but why you’re doing it. Your goals need to align with what the Infinite Banking Concept provides.

In this week’s episode, the guys address a question from a fan that leads to a deeper discussion on MECs or “Modified Endowment Contracts”. They illustrate the importance of building your policy the right way, why you shouldn’t shy away from premiums and how to maximize the banking function of your policy.

Episode Outline:

(0:29) - Episode beginning, listener question “Is it possible to purchase a policy in one lump sum?”

(2:02) - What is the problem with a single payment policy?

(6:23) - How Paul and Dave “snuggle” up to the MEC line and how your policy can “MEC” if you’re not careful

(10:28) - “What happens if I don’t pay back the policy loans?”

(13:00) - You need to find the right person to setup your policy for you

(17:55) - Using policy loans for the sake of using loans, chasing high rates of return and the volatility of the stock market

(21:25) - Don’t get trapped by traditional options, the IBC mindset

(24:55) - Bottom line: find the right agent and don’t sweat the complicated stuff
