Oh, you’re already investing in a 529 plan? You think your college savings is taken care of?
529s aren’t as beneficial as we’re led to believe. As MSN.com points out, we’re all “better off putting the money under [our] mattresses… Simply put, 529 don’t live up to the hype.”
The truth is… 529s have many restrictions, and it doesn’t provide much flexibility. There are many penalties that come with freedom, and none of us deserve that kind of control with our own finances.
With the Infinite Banking Concept, you’re in full control with minimal amounts of restrictions. Your money is available to you when you want it and why.
Using the Infinite Banking Concept to finance a college education provides great advantages you don’t get with the traditional ways of financing. You’re allowed flexibility, there’s no risk of loss due to the market, and you’re always paying yourself back.
The Infinite Banking Concept relies on a type of dividend-paying whole life insurance policy that can grow your cash value to up to 40 times faster than a traditionally designed policy. This policy has remained guaranteed and predictable for more than 160 years, and only continues to grow in value.
Unlike other saving options, you have 100% certainty of how much your plan will be worth. There is no guessing or market to rely on. The money you take from your plan will be replaced as you pay yourself back, and you can use the funds for anything you want such as retirement or vacations with your family.
The Benefits
There are a ton of different benefits to using the Infinite Banking Concept. For example, it doesn’t hurt you when applying for financial aid. Since your funds are in a whole life insurance policy, they will never count against you when applying for financial aid. They don’t need to be reported as assets, and therefore gives more opportunities for scholarships and financial aid. In addition, the Infinite Banking Concept can act as a reliable retirement plan, emergency cash, and a predictable and stable savings account.
