Everyone wants to talk about policy design. The percentages, pretty illustrations and early cash value.
But Infinite Banking is not about chasing the prettiest policy. It's about building a financing system that works for you over decades.
In this episode, Jim Oliver explains why many popular 90/10 high-PUA policies look impressive early but often weaken the long-term structure of a banking system. Using the analogy of turbochargers versus horsepower, Jim shows why policies with a stronger base often perform better over time.
The real goal is not early optics. The goal is durability, control, and long-term capitalization.
