Most people think policy loans mean "borrowing your own money." That's completely wrong, and it's costing them big. In this episode, Mary Jo breaks down exactly how policy loans work inside Infinite Banking and why understanding the difference can change how you build wealth.

In this deep dive, Mary Jo explains why you're borrowing the life insurance company's money, not your own, when using policy loans, and how that lets your cash value keep earning uninterrupted compound interest and dividends.

She also addresses common misconceptions some accountants have, what's actually deductible, and why using this strategy helps reduce inflation by keeping dollars out of the fractional-reserve banking system.

If you've ever wondered whether you "pay to borrow your own money," this episode clears it up once and for all.

🧭 Key Takeaways: ◦ You're borrowing against your policy, not from it. ◦ The interest goes to the insurance company, not back into your policy. ◦ You still earn compound interest + dividends while using that money. ◦ Accountants often misunderstand how policy loans and deductions work. ◦ Using Infinite Banking helps you leverage dollars and avoid inflating the currency.
