A family was told they could never afford their dream home. Years later, they moved in, all by applying the Infinite Banking Concept.

How did this happen, and why did a 24-year financial advisor who used to teach “buy term and invest the difference” completely change his mind about whole life insurance?

In this episode of the Infinite Banking Initiative, Authorized IBC Practitioner Kurt Berry shares Nelson Nash’s core idea and explains why properly designed whole life insurance can become the one place capital compounds without interruption.

If you’ve ever been told “whole life is a bad investment” or “just buy term and invest the difference,” this conversation offers a helpful second perspective.

David Stearns and James Neathery of the Nelson Nash Institute (NNI) explain why dividend-paying Whole Life is the only structure Nelson Nash recommended to support the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC).

You’ll learn:

• How Universal Life shifts performance and longevity risk to the policyholder
• Why the Cost of Insurance (COI) rises over time, threatening long-term viability
• The difference between illustration-based planning and contractual guarantees
• Why Whole Life’s cash value is guaranteed to equal the face amount by age 100/120
• How mutuality, dividends, and non-forfeiture options create reliable long-term capital

This video also highlights the historical evolution of life insurance: demutualization, 1980s product design, and industry pressures, and how Austrian economic principles shaped Nelson Nash’s long-range banking philosophy.

By the end, you’ll understand why IBC works only with Whole Life and why any product dependent on projections or rising costs undermines the core principles of becoming your own banker.
