An Example of the Infinite Banking Concept at Work
Purchasing a Car Comparison

IBC $40,000 Car Comparison

In life, most people will purchase a new car or pay off an existing car loan.

This example considers the purchase of a $40,000 car using four methods of payment - three traditional methods and the Infinite Banking Concept.

The main source for comparison will be the total cost.

The Assumptions for the Illustration

    1. 44 year time period with a new car purchase every 4 years.
    2. Traditional bank financing and IBC financing will be at 8% (loan rate for purchase).
    3. Assumed 5% rate of return on your money (this is what your money may be earning).
    4. Residual value on leases will be 35% of actual car value (cars depreciate).
    5. Residual value will allow the same amount financed ($40,000) each time with traditional bank finance and IBC.
    6. Your annual payment, bank financing, and IBC equals $12,077.00.

  • 48 month lease period
  • $850.00 monthly payments

  • 3% inflation 5% rate of return

 

Total Cash Paid for the Lease of the Cars =

-$868,104

-$2,505,511

Option 2: Bank Loan

  • Finance $40,000 each time
  • 48 month loan
  • $1,007.00 monthly payment

  • 3% inflation 5% rate of return

     

    Total Paid=

    $531,388
    Same as would be financed through a bank. Only you paid this to your own policy, so it is a positive number.

    Opportunity Cost =

    $0.00

    Total RECAPTURED FUNDS=

    $1,916,622

Comparison

Oh, and at some point, you will die. That's the "lagniappe" as we call it Down South, the death benefit that would be paid to your heirs. Depending on how you treated your IBC policy, it would likely be close to double the cash-value. So, you can teach your children and grandchildren stewardship even from the grave. Keep the money in the family.
