Unwrap a Christmas-week convo on control, liquidity, and the Infinite Banking Concept!

Dave and Paul read listener emails to start off the episode (including one that calls out Paul directly) – and get into some bigger concepts from there like:

Keeping cash flowing and using mortgages/HELOCs strategically, rather than rushing to pay off a house.

They also break down refinancing vs. liquidity, how to move equity out of your walls and into policies, and why “becoming your own banker” is a business you build, not a get-rich-quick play.

It’s a common expense that many Americans carry – but what if there was a way that you could get something positive out of that debt?

In this episode, Dave and Paul discuss student loans and a counter-intuitive idea: extra payments on student loans can keep you capital-poor. They unpack why prioritizing liquidity, via properly structured whole life and the Infinite Banking Concept, can leave you wealthier over time while you still make the minimums.

Additionally, the guys touch on average debt realities, how to turn a payoff into a “windfall,” who this strategy is (and isn’t) for, and a legit path some borrowers use to shrink federal loan payments.

This week on Wealth Warehouse, Dave and Paul kick around the hot “50-year mortgage” idea and why it may help (or hurt) depending on how you think about cash flow and control.

Then they get practical: when you’re practicing IBC, should extra dollars crush a policy loan… or go toward expanding your system? They dig into real-life tradeoffs, how to sequence cash before big expenses, and why capital base should be a priority over quick paydowns.

This week on Wealth Warehouse, Dave and Paul break down the high-profile lawsuit NASCAR star Kyle Busch filed against Pacific Life after allegedly losing $8.5M in an indexed universal life (IUL) policy.

They unpack why they’re not surprised, how IULs actually work under the hood and why those glossy “tax-free retirement” illustrations can fall apart in the real world. If you’ve ever wondered whether IUL belongs in an Infinite Banking strategy, or as “permanent” life insurance at all, this one’s for you.

Part two with pilot/IBC pro Travis Fairbairn digs into the big question: “I’ve got cash value, now what?”

We break down a simple, repeatable way to turn whole life policy cash value into predictable cash flow using amortized notes through a low-risk co-lending club. Travis shows how the strategy repays your policy loan (plus interest), compounds as you recycle dollars, when it makes sense to add another policy, and how even ~$500/month in savings can start with ~$2,500 notes.

We also talk about real uses and why banks start treating you like a partner when you control the banking function.

Travis Fairbairn joins Dave and Paul for a fun, super practical chat on Infinite Banking. He details his journey as a corporate jet pilot and how he found IBC, put it to work, and started “stacking notes” to turn policy loans into predictable cash flow.

You’ll hear the story behind it, why using a dollar in more than one place clicked for him, and how he funds big purchases and even premiums through his system.

If you’re IBC-curious or already running policies and want ideas to put cash value to work without losing liquidity, this one’s your lane. Subscribe and come back next week for Part 2!
