A Hospital Room Reminder About What Really Matters
When Bruce recorded this episode, I was in the hospital.
He carried the podcast solo while I was headed into yet another surgery connected to pregnancy complications—a storyline some of you know has been part of our family’s journey for years.

That day was a harsh reminder: life is fragile, the future is never guaranteed, and y...

The Couple With $8.5 Million… and One Salad
“Bruce, I’m afraid we’re going to run out of money.”
He had over $8.5 million across different accounts. They were in their early 70s. On paper, they were far ahead of where most people ever get.

But his fear was so real that when they went out to dinner, his wife shared a salad instead of ordering her own—because he was afraid they “...

The Day a Cookie Business Changed How My Daughter Saw Money
After watching a kid biz launch challenge our eight-year-old decided she wanted to start a cookie business.
She figured out recipes, canvased the neighborhood, and delivered her first batch of cookie dough. By the end of the day, she had a stack of cash in her hand and stars in her eyes.

The Day the “Emergency Fund” Met Real Life
Rachel here. Many tell us the same story: “I saved the emergency fund, but I’m worried I’m losing ground to inflation and missed opportunities.”
https://www.youtube.com/live/T7O8abZDKw8
Because for most people, the “emergency fund” is a lonely pile of cash—stuck in a corner doing next to nothing. It feels safe, until inflation and opportunity cost quietly erode it. Today Bruce a...

Many people make more money and somehow feel more afraid. Afraid to decide. Afraid to lose. Afraid to look foolish. Afraid to miss out.

This isn’t a fringe problem. It’s everywhere.And it’s solvable.
Bruce and I recorded this episode to hand you a simple tool you can use to reframe fear and build the kind of financial life that runs on clarity, certainty, and stewardship.

A few weeks ago our 14-year-old daughter ordered a $30 item online with her own hard-earned cash. She was proud of herself—until a notice popped up: the product was coming from overseas and a tariff of roughly $30 would be due at delivery. She looked at me, stunned. “Wait… I have to pay double to get it?” She paused, thought, and said, “I still want it.”

We went live, the chat exploded, and a listener voiced what so many feel but rarely say out loud: “I’ve followed the rules—so why doesn’t my Retirement Plan feel safe?”

Bruce gave me the look that says, “Let’s tell the truth.” Because we’ve seen it over and over: neat projections, tidy averages, and a plan that works—until the world doesn’t. Markets don’t ask permission. Inflation do...

Why the Indexed Universal Life lawsuit is a wake-up call
The headlines about the Kyle Busch vs Pacific Life indexed universal life lawsuit sparked the same question I hear from thoughtful families: is my policy designed to serve me, or to serve a sales incentive? This isn’t tabloid noise. It’s a real-world reminder that choices around products, product design, and behavior determine outcomes. When insurance gets framed like an i...

“It’s not the math. It’s the mindset.”
When Bruce recorded this episode solo, he opened with something we’ve learned after thousands of client conversations: the biggest Infinite Banking mistakes aren’t about policy illustrations or carrier choice. They’re about us—our habits, our thinking, and the quiet patterns we bring to money.

If you want to increase your savings, don’t start with your budget—start with your lifestyle.Your lifestyle isn’t about how much you spend.It’s about what you prioritize.It’s the visible result of invisible decisions—what you say yes to, what you say no to, and what you're building quietly behind the scenes.

Premium financing life insurance for estate planning is one of those strategies that sounds impressive—and sometimes is. But for most families, it introduces more complexity and risk than benefit.

At The Money Advantage, we don’t lead with premium financing, and we rarely recommend it. But in a recent conversation with a client facing an eight-figure estate tax liability, the questio...

The Gas Station Story That Reveals a Common Money Mistake
Let me paint a picture for you.
https://www.youtube.com/live/uqGN5Sz9tJg
You’re driving down the highway and see gas at $3.00 a gallon. Three miles later, you spot it for $2.97. You think, "Yes! A deal!" So you turn around, drive the extra six miles, and save... 30 cents.
Except you used 40 cents of gas to get there.
This is the kind of logic many people use...

Have you ever heard someone say you can use an IUL for Infinite Banking?
Maybe you’ve seen a slick video online, or a persuasive advisor with charts and projections that promise you higher returns, flexible premiums, and “upside potential.” It sounds convincing—especially when you compare the numbers on an illustration. Who wouldn’t want more cash value and lower premiums?
But here’s the sobering reality: when it comes to Inf...

When most people first hear about Infinite Banking, one of the first questions that comes up is: “But what are the risks of Infinite Banking?”
It’s a fair question. We live in a financial world where we’ve been conditioned to look for the fine print, the hidden traps, and the potential downsides of anything that sounds “too good to be true.”

“Is Infinite Banking a sales tactic?”
It’s one of the first questions we hear—and it’s a valid one.
When I first encountered Infinite Banking, I wasn’t looking for a new strategy. I was simply trying to find a better place to store cash.

A friend called and said four words that changed the trajectory of a young family’s finances: Becoming Your Own Banker.
At that moment, Jesse Durham was a former cop turned Spanish teacher in North Carolina. New baby. Second on the way. About $50,000 of debt. A man raised to do what most of us were taught to do: get the degree, get the job, ride the hamster wheel, and hope the math works out.
