Post High School Education Reality

Am I ready for this?...

Last night I went to my daughter's high school and sat in a fast paced one-hour presentation on the many ways I and my daughter should be preparing for post-high school education.  I left feeling like I had been sacked by Ray Lewis - multiple times!  Don't get me wrong - the information was solid, well presented, concise and all that jazz, but it was a heavy thought as a dad to consider that between now and next August I am on the fast track to a big-time transition with my girl, not to mention she has a sister who is a junior!

So, between meetings like the one I attended, scoping out the FAFSA site for help, the high school website for help, the college of her choice website, meeting ACT testing deadlines, senior pictures, senior year this-that-and the other, I am overwhelmed.  Are you there?  Have you been there?

Well, today I am concluding that the money part (you know, financing the college tuition) should be OK.  I am believing that our Infinite Banking system will be a TREMENDOUS asset in paying down and paying off college expenses (while foregoing interest to others). If you would have asked me five or ten years ago how I was going to pay for my child's college expenses - I would have answered "a wing and a prayer."  So, glad that what I thought I knew in this realm, just ain't so!

Infinite Banking and College planning go hand in hand.  I'm thinking if you have a seventh or eighth grader you should contact me now on how you can begin to prepare your child for college financially and pass up the traditional financing options.  

I Like What I Do

A New Journey Refection

The other day I spoke with an acquaintance, a man I rarely talk with.  He called me out of the blue and I missed him, so I returned the call.  He was telling me that he had heard I was working with Infinite Banking Concept (personal banking he called it).  I said I was working in this area and he then asked if I was doing well with it, do I like it?  Am I making money doing this?

He was genuinely curious and I believe he cares for me personally, but after hanging up I began to ponder the questions he was posing.

First, I have not mentioned this before but along with teaching about Infinite Banking, I'm also a pastor.  This simply means that I not only have the joy of participating in God's call for my life to pastor but I have a second "dream job" of telling people about Infinite Banking.  Do I enjoy what I do?  With 110% enthusiasm I enjoy both of my jobs!

Second, "Am I making money at it?"  This is a valid question, but it is really not a question for me to consider primarily.  Yes, I want to make a living doing this, but the truth of Infinite Banking is proof enough for those truly curious that what I make is fairly secondary to helping individuals and families move ahead with their financial goals and dreams.  The material Nelson Nash has provided us, of which I help unfold for people, is the key here and what I make as income will happen when it happens.  Sound naive?  I know it does, but for me it's trust in God and the material Nelson has shared no matter how non-mainstream it may seem.

Bottom line - I really like what I do and KNOW that Infinite Banking works! I'd enjoy sharing with you how it can work for you.  Call me at 1-816-588-2328 to visit.

Interest Rate Myth Rebuffed

Rethinking the Car Buying Strategy

This post is being brought to you today as another example that what we thought we knew, just ain't so.

My friend and partner Mike Everett at Life Success and Legacy provides this simple video explanation of how we used to think about buying cars. We use the teaching in this video quite often when people are exploring what Infinite Banking could mean for them and their future.  More of these types of videos can be found at the Life Success and Legacy web site under the videos tab. 

Again, just a little bit more open-mindedness and education for some people could make the difference in how they view personal banking as taught through the Infinite Banking Concept by Nelson Nash and through our ongoing teaching and leadership at Life Success and Legacy.  Contact us for more information or a copy of Nelson's book, Becoming Your Own Banker.
