Beat The Banks Book Review: Part 1 with Wade Borth

Kyle Fuller and Wade Borth discuss the ...

Kyle Fuller and Wade Borth discuss the philosophy of "Becoming Your Own Banker" by Nelson Nash, emphasizing the importance of personal banking as a transformative and patient process which involves ...changing mindset and habits around money. They recommend using whole life insurance policies as a secure foundation for personal banking, but note that insurance is a tool and not the whole solution; the mindset shift is critical. They highlight the importance of repaying any loans taken from these policies and treating personal banking like a business, with a focus on continuous growth and learning. They underline that everyone, not just the wealthy, can and should harness this concept, starting with as little as 10% of income. The hosts stress upon the significance of liquidity or accessible cash in wealth building, and drive the point home that success comes from how individuals control their money.
