Infinite Banking Mastery ·

2024/08/22

With traditional methods, you can do one of two things with your money: Spend it, or save it. If you spend it, that money’s gone and can’t be used for anything else. And since you’ve spent it, it can’t appreciate for you: meaning you miss out on more than just the face value you spent.

One of the things we love about IBC is that you can set up a system to BYOB–”Be Your Own Banker” and essentially borrow money “from yourself”…at far lower rates than conventional banks offer.
