This episode on the Infinite Banking Concept sounds like a deep dive into a great financial strategy. It's important to grasp that it's more than just life insurance—it's about changing how you think about managing money. For people interested in traditional banking options as well, checking out what Washington Trust Bank https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/washington-trust-bank/customer-service.html offers could be a good complement to these ideas. I'm excited to listen and learn more about how this approach can fit into a broader financial plan.
