IBC Sounds Interesting But What if I’m Uninsurable? | BYOB Book Review 17

“The line of insurability” is a concept known in the life insurance industry. It’s that point in time when you cannot qualify for an insurance policy, perhaps due to a diagnosis that significantly impacts your life expectancy or reasons related to health, lifestyle, or travel. So what can you do if you become uninsurable? It can be frustrating, but it may not be the end of your options. In today’s episode, Russ and Joey talk about this scenario while continuing their book review on Becoming Your Own Banker (BYOB) by Nelson Nash. BYOB is not just your ordinary book. It’s that sort of artifact that can radically transform your future. It could be one of the most important books you should add to your reading list to help shift your mindset. Through this book, Nelson explains the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) in the most effective way possible, getting his point across with a dose of humor and immense clarity.
