I have been looking at IBC for a few years now. I listened to becoming your own banker driving back from North Carolina back to Wisconsin and have been listening to podcast. I am a Military retiree servicing 23 years in the Marine Corps and Wisconsin Army National Guard in the AGR Program. We own rental property and a Home inspection business.

Just finished my second go around with BYOB. Having a hard time wrapping my mind around the figures Nash is utilizing in purchasing your own equipment/financing the needs of life. Don’t get me wrong here. I get that my policy grows uninterrupted in the background. That’s not my hang up. In ‘Equipment Financing, Illustrations 1-5’, I’m not getting his math the second time around. Hypothetical, take out a $40,000 car loan. Just for the sake here, we will say I can get 7% at my credit union for 60 months. A policy loan would be roughly the same for arguement here. My basic understanding would be that from the credit union my payment would be $792/mo. To not steal the peas, I take a policy loan, and pay at least $792 back to my policy. Let’s call it $800. My hang up is this: How does Nash get to these tables (p 54, 59-64?) I’m paying back 7% to the life insurance company on the policy loan. Does this only work if I’m putting MORE than I would pay to my credit union into paying back my policy loan? (Say, $1,000/mo?) What did I miss in my two readings to make the numbers work the way he demonstrates?
