Episode 70: IBC and The Psychology of Money: You’ll Change

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we continue the series on the psychology of money using Housel’s book as a guide.  Dave examines Chapter 14 ‘You’ll Change.’  In the previous chapter, Housel states that one of the reasons we need to save money is that life is unpredictable.  Well, Housel doubles down on this specific idea, asking the reader to reflect and understand that, yes, you will change.  Dave talks through a quick recap and then draws out the strong connections IBC has with this chapter.  You won’t want to miss this one!

Also in this episode, Dave gets controversial with his book titles, shares some personal stories, and calls Mike old.  Join in for a great episode as we compare Housel’s thinking to Nelson Nash’s thinking!

Key takeaway: “Long term planning is harder than it seems because people’s goals and desires change over time.”  -Housel

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we continue the series on the psychology of money using Housel’s book as a guide.  We jump into Chapter 13 ‘Room for Error.’  Housel takes us through the certainty of the uncertain, and then the reasons to expect it.  The idea of building in room for error is a foundational piece of growing wealth.  IBC builds in room for error automatically - and Dave is excited to talk about how!  Join us for a great episode!

Also in this episode, Dave thinks things are getting redundant, he’s headed to see Mike, and he’s taking a summer break by doing an episode every other week.  

Key takeaway: “The most important part of every plan is planning on your plan not going according to plan.”  -Housel

Episode 68: IBC and The Psychology of Money: Surprise!

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we continue the series on the psychology of money using Housel’s book as a guide.  Dave dives into an interesting chapter titled “Surprise!”  Housel discusses using the past as a predictor, the biggest unknowns shaping the majority of the future, and what one should do in preparing a financial system to withstand those surprises

And, with this being an IBC podcast, Dave dissects Nelson Nash’s stance with that of Housel’s - and the similarities may be more surprising than most people realize.  Join us for a great episode!

Key takeaway: 

Because surprises are unavoidable, the value of control is often underestimated until the moment it is needed.

Episode 66: IBC and The Psychology of Money: Reasonable > Rational

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we continue the series on the psychology of money using Housel’s book as a guide.  We discuss Chapter 11, Reasonable > Rational.  Housel discusses the need to remember the human side of how money is used when making decisions.  There is often a best, rational choice when it comes to money, but that choice may not be the most reasonable.  Housel encourages the reasonable choice because it is more realistic and is tenable over the course of a longer amount of time.  Excited to discuss and excited for you to join us!

Also in this episode, Dave toots his own horn, Mike likes chocolate but not the kind you think, and Dave puts his IBC Cash Value to a practical use! 

Key takeaway: “Do not aim to be coldly rational when making financial decisions.  Aim to just be pretty reasonable.” - Housel

Episode 65: IBC From Someone Else: What Do Others Say About Policy Design?

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, Dave takes a look at IBC through the eyes of another producer - someone else who works with IBC.  In taking a look through their free guide, what do they have to say about policy design?  What do they encourage?  Caution?  Does what is said line up with what Mike and Dave talk about?  More importantly, does it line up with what Nelson Nash talks about?  All this is done with the goal of helping you decide what you think.  Join in and let’s talk IBC policy design!  

Also in this episode, Dave says “stuffs”, Mike is traveling the world, and Dave is ready to go golfing. This is as practical and implementable as an episode can get, so don’t miss it!

Key takeaway: Both (a) ideology and (b) policy design matter in IBC, but not all whole life policies are created equal—and policy design matters more than most people realize.

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we continue the Psychology of Money series.  Housel wins the award for shortest chapter in a book - 1 page - but it’s thought provoking none the less.  When you admire a car, house, etc., are you admiring the person that owns that possession or are you visualizing what that wealth would look like in your possession?  Housel walks the reader through the paradox of ‘loud’ wealth and how it doesn’t really work as most people assume.  Dave then takes IBC and discusses how IBC fits within that paradox.  Man, what a great discussion!

Also in this episode, Dave kills stuff, he makes up a new catch phrase, and he ends on a great on liner.  Join him for a thought provoking episode!

Key takeaway: Trying to look rich is one of the fastest ways to stay poor.

Episode 62: IBC and The Psychology of Money - Freedom

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, we jump back into the Psychology of Money series.  Housel provides a great chapter on the idea of ‘Freedom’ and, then, how money helps one realize that freedom.  Dave takes it a step further and provides two ideas on how IBC provides the financial freedom Housel talks about - (1) freedom from banks, and (2) compounding financial freedom over time.  Have you ever wondered what it was like to work when you wanted, where you wanted, and with whom you wanted?  Let’s discuss it now!

Also in this episode, Mike is taking Dave on a scary trip, Dave’s Dad brings home a Porsche, and RV’ing with your dog never sounded so good!  Join Dave in taking a look at ‘freedom’ through the lens of IBC!

Key takeaway: “The highest form of wealth is control over your time.”   -Housel

Episode 61: What Makes a Good Agent? - with Yvonne Burke

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, Yvonne Burke joins Dave once again to discuss “What Makes a Good Agent?”  ChatGPT certainly has an opinion, but Yvonne would argue that it’s missing a key aspect in determining a quality agent.  As the discussion unfolds, the foundational heart issues around being a good agent are discussed, along with the challenge of asking hard-hitting questions of your current or potential agent.  We also encourage listeners to be confident in asking questions and describing their needs - this will provide great insight into your agent as a person and as a professional!  This is a good one - don’t miss it!

Also in this episode, Dave cannot say “ChatGPT”, we become doctors, and Yvonne is pretty much one of the Guys at this point.  Jump into this episode if you’re struggling to make that leap in reaching out about IBC!

Key takeaway:  CHALLENGE your agent.  Ask them questions that are foundational to what you as the client want and need.

Episode 60: IBC and the Psychology of Money - Tails, You Win

Welcome back to The IBC Guys Podcast!  

Welcome back to the IBC Guys!  In this episode, Dave continues examining The Psychology of Money through the lens of the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC).  In this chapter, we enlist the help of Housel as we walk through the idea of failing with money.  Housel posits that failure is to be expected and that a few major investments determines success.  Does IBC agree?  Does IBC limit failure exposure rather than set one up for the ‘homerun’ investment?  If so, is that a good thing?  Join in for a great talk about IBC’s role as one fails in investing.

Also in this episode, Dave doesn’t sound excited, he says weird words, and he disagrees with Housel. Enjoy talking about how IBC doesn’t mean you need to lose all the time to win!!

Key takeaway:  IBC keeps your money grounded so you are able to navigate the ups and downs as you are chasing those ‘tails’ events.
