    Welcome back to another episode of Wealth Warehouse!


    In this episode Dave and Paul push back on the idea that IBC is a clever financial hack you can deploy and forget. It’s a philosophy, daily practice and most importantly: a way of life.


    Expect a practical conversation about mindset, discipline, and the long-range planning required to make IBC work for you. If you’re looking for instant gratification, this one will reset your expectations.

  • Episode 179: Infinite Banking: Top 5 Reasons We Want To Pay Premium Until The Day We Die

    Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash:

    In this episode, Dave and Paul unpack a core belief that separates seasoned IBC practitioners from the casual policyholder: the commitment to paying premiums forever. Not because they have to, but because they want to.


    They break down why their policies are designed to get better with age, how they’re expecting to earn more in the future than they do today, and why stopping premium payments could actually limit their wealth-building potential.

    They also get into the IBC mindset of relentlessly capitalizing treating premium payments not as a bill, but as a deposit into their family banking system. As Nelson Nash often said, “You’re always going to finance everything you buy, you either pay interest to someone else, or you give up interest you could have earned.”

    If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a “stop point” in IBC, or if you’re doing it “too aggressively,” this conversation will reframe the entire game.

    2:53 - Intentionally planning to pay less premium
