Family Bank vs Family Banking - Episode 562

4/9/2024
Kim and Spencer discuss the important difference between 'Family Bank' and 'Family Banking.' The hosts emphasize that understanding the distinction between these two concepts is crucial to managing personal and familial finances effectively. While Family Bank remains a widely misunderstood and elusive concept due to certain legal and ownership restrictions, Family Banking refers to the strategic process of managing monetary inflow and outflow, which every family can do. Essentially, Family Banking is about understanding the principles of prosperity and the philosophy of cash flow, as well as applying these principles both personally and as a family. The hosts also discussed the importance of pursuing financial literacy for safer and better banking and financial decisions.

When To Use A Charitable Remainder Trust - Episode 561

4/2/2024
Kim and Spencer discuss the concept of Charitable Remainder Trusts, an estate and wealth planning tool that not many people are familiar with. The hosts explain that these trusts allow individuals to donate assets, particularly highly appreciated ones, to a charity while avoiding substantial capital gains taxes that would be incurred as a result of selling these assets. The individual also receives a consistent income stream from the donated asset throughout their lifetime. Notably, these trusts are particularly beneficial to older individuals. One commonly overlooked step in the process, though, is the acquisition of life insurance to ensure that their family is not left without an inheritance when the individual passes away and the remaining value of the asset goes to the charity.

Becoming Your Own Bank Prosperity Thinkers Version - Episode 560

3/26/2024
Kim and Spencer, in this The Prosperity Podcast episode, featured a discussion about whole life insurance as a financial asset and tool for emergencies and opportunities. It started with a historical look at the inception of whole life insurance by "bands of brothers" and church brethren centuries ago, aiming to address the financial losses of term insurance. As opposed to term insurance, whole life insurance was created to build an asset called cash value, which policyholders could borrow against. This role of life insurance in financial planning has expanded over time, with books like Nelson Nash's "Becoming Your Own Banker" and Kim's "Live Your Life Insurance" reiterating its use as a strategy to tackle life events. Kim debunked the misleading term "bank" often used to describe mutual life insurance companies and pointed out that life insurance allows control, liquidity, usability, and equity (CLUE). She also highlighted the need for financial control in current times where bank accounts could be frozen, suggesting using life insurance as a reliable and secure financial tool. The hosts concluded the episode with a note to delve deeper into the intricacies of becoming one's own banker in future episodes.

The Relationship of Luck and Control - Episode 557

3/5/2024
Spencer and Kim discuss the concept of luck and its relation to hard work. They argue that luck can be misleading since it insinuates that success doesn't need work or can be taken away at any moment. Instead, they emphasize that working is a way of serving and creating value, making it the foundation for success. They also underline that when one is prepared and actively participating, opportunities arise that may be perceived as luck but in reality, are the product of effort and preparation. The hosts also express skepticism towards beliefs that advocate for good fortune through actions like playing the lottery or burning fake money, highlighting the importance of work, savings, and ownership as the means to control and independence.

The Myth of Cutting Expenses - Episode 556

2/27/2024
This episode centered around the concept of cutting expenses, discussing how efforts to decrease spending often lead to limited financial success. Referencing the book, No Worries by Jared Dillian, a finance writer and former Wall Street employee, this episode highlighted the drawbacks of focusing solely on expense reduction. Rather than achieving true prosperity, continual cost-cutting may lead to financial stagnation. Spencer and Kim also emphasized the importance of rising above cutting costs and shifting focus onto cultivating abundance and increasing income. They discouraged clinging onto the concept of emergencies and being fixated on escaping debt. This negative focus might invite more of the unwelcome circumstances, aligning with the principle of attracting what one mostly thinks about.

Consequences of Not Thinking Big Enough - Episode 554

2/13/2024
This episode talks about the concept of "thinking big enough" inspired by some song lyrics, highlighting the importance of songs as they carry messages that stick. Kim, introduces the term "visioneering", which substitutes setting specific goals with envisioning a future that inspires and propels us forward, as she believes goals can be inherently limiting. She explains that visioneering differs from goal setting as it encourages long-term and expansive thinking that is constantly changing, instead of being strictly focused on achieving specific, short-term, and measurable results. She makes the point that we should keep dreaming and visioneering, and always refer back to what we genuinely want, rather than focusing on societal expectations.

Are You Optimistic About Debt? - Episode 545

12/12/2023
This episode centers around the concept of debt and how it can be viewed from the perspective of optimism, drawing from the writings of finance author Jared Dillian. Kim and Spencer point out that while many associate debt with negative feelings, it can also be an indicator of confidence in the future. However, they warn caution, citing the importance of avoiding frivolous debt and "keeping up with the Joneses." They share their belief in maintaining a positive approach towards financial future, explaining that those who constantly focus solely on paying off their debt often find themselves in a cycle of indebtedness, whereas those who view debt as a strategy and think optimistically about creating opportunities, serving and aiding others, and adding value are more likely to get out of it.
