In this episode of the Infinite Mindset Podcast, we break down first-lien HELOCs, traditional mortgages, Infinite Banking, and brokerage-based strategies using the same real-world numbers to see what actually holds up. Instead of hype, we follow the math—examining interest costs, liquidity, rate risk, and what happens when markets don’t cooperate. The takeaway is simple but powerful: wealth isn’t built by chasing maximum returns, it’s built by minimizing forced mistakes and maintaining control of your capital.

Loan math:

Daily interest accrual:

Loan Balance x (1/365) x interest rate

True Interest Cost:

Total Quantity of Dollars Paid in Interest / Principal Amount of Loan x 100%

Total Quantity of Dollars Paid in Interest:

[ (Monthly Payment x number of Payments) + fees + pain of enduring underwriting ]- cash price

Examples:

Daily Interest- $10k x 1/365 x 0.05 = $1.3698 ($1.37 per day when rounded)

True Interest-

#1 $10k x 0.06 x 365/365 = $600 or 6%

#2 $10k x 0.06 x 183/365 = $300.82

$5k x 0.06 x 182/365 = $149.59

$300.82 + 149.49 = $450.41 or 4.5%

#3 $10k x 0.06 x 304/365 = $499.73 or 4.99%

This episode steps back to show the big picture behind how and why we store capital the way we do.

The conversation wraps with why proper structuring, control, and whole life strategies can eliminate these barriers and put financing back in your hands.

In this episode of The Infinite Mindset Podcast, Andy, Scott, and Jared explore one of the most common questions in Infinite Banking—how much premium is the right amount? They break down what “meaningful and manageable” really means, why your first policy won’t solve every financial need, and how to think long-term about building your personal banking system. Along the way, they discuss the mindset shift required to see premium as a solution, not a cost—and how that shift transforms everything about how you manage money.

• These articles are about using IBC as a cash-flow and financing system for business owners
• The tax bill is used as a catalyst / source of funding rather than just an expense out the door. The same dollars serve multiple purposes: building policy value + satisfying tax obligations.
• This is not a shortcut or magic — you still pay your taxes, you still need to follow rules; you’re simply redirecting flows and building a financial system tailored to you.
