  <title>The Real Numbers Behind Infinite Banking (It's Not What You Think) (Ep. 283)</title>
  <description>Has your accountant &amp;quot;never heard of&amp;quot; infinite banking and your financial advisor calls whole life insurance a &amp;quot;scam&amp;quot;? In this episode, Mary Jo Irmen pulls up the actual policy numbers and breaks down why they're wrong — and how structure changes everything. ⚠️ Warning: this episode comes with a dose of German passion. Mary Jo walks through the real numbers behind three policy structures — traditional whole life, 10-pay, and paid-up-at-65 — and shows exactly what a policy built for infinite banking does differently. $20,000 in premium can mean $0 cash value in year one… or $14,000 of access in 10 days. The difference is the paid-up additions rider, and if your advisor can't explain that, you have a problem. Mary Jo also breaks down why a 200-year-old, insurance-commissioner-approved product can't be &amp;quot;a scam&amp;quot; — and why you need to educate yourself before paying for advice from someone who hasn't done the reading.
