Three Things We Learned from this Episode
How our checking accounts get in the way of constant compounding

When we use a savings or checking account, we’re constantly putting money in and taking it out. Every time we take it out, we’re interrupting the compound.

How Lost Opportunity Cost affects us financially

The moment we spend a dollar, we’ve lost the opportunity to make anything on that dollar. We can’t put it towards something that can make us more money.

The beauty of life insurance contracts

Put money into a life insurance contract, and it’s going to grow uninterrupted. You’ll still have access to the money while it continues to grow. You also get the benefit of it being tax-free if you keep it permanently.

By bringing together life insurance contracts and tax-free benefits while saving money, amazing things can happen for us. You get the peace of mind of knowing that your money is saved, easy to access, and growing tax-free.
