Farming Without the Bank Podcast

We so often talk about comparing investments to life insurance or comparing ourselves to each other, but in this episode, I want to talk to you about comparing yourself to yourself. We all grow, so give yourself some grace to learn from where you were to where you are today. You are your worst critic.

We are taking a little diversion on this podcast to talk about how comparison is the thief of joy and how jealousy kills curiosity. These are not my normal topics, but I feel we need to discuss these issues as folks in the ag industry constantly tear each other apart.

Many people are trying to get debt paid off as soon as they can, but is that the best way to utilize money? In this episode, I go over why we may not want to overpay debt, why a 30-year mortgage may be better than a 15-year mortgage, and when is a good time to overpay and get debt paid down before starting an IBC policy.

The Infinite Banking Concept teaches us to be honest bankers, and that not only goes for paying the policy loan back plus interest; it also applies to you using money from savings, capital investments, and getting discounts on land rent or tractor use.

Today I discuss another chapter from Becoming Your Own Banker. Nelson talks about the fact that this concept is a change in mindset and not about a rate of return. It's about putting value on your own money and taking control of your personal finances. Yet again, we have another great example of why this is not just life insurance and why the policy is the tool. If you don't get this part down, you will not understand why you have the policy.
