Highlights * Why rental properties and hard assets? * Impact of overall portfolio on wealth returns. * Infinite banking: explanation and personal impact. * Lessons from a rural upbringing and stagflation. * Navy career and financial wake-up call. * Control over money equals reduced risk. * Maslow's hierarchy of needs applied to investments. * Direct vs. indirect investment risk. * Differences between savings and investments. * Borrowing against life insurance for investments. * Infinite banking's financial advantage demonstration. * Differences in returns with infinite banking. * Constructing an infinite banking policy. * Whole life insurance vs. IUL and its implications. * Accessing and contributing flexibility to policies. * Scalability and contribution duration in policies.
