Ep. 36: Building Your Banking System: Why Dividend Rates Mislead (Part 1) | BYOB Series #16

In Episode 36 of the BYOB Series, Tricia Miller continues the walk through Nelson Nash's chapter on creating your own banking system through dividend-paying life insurance. This first half of the conversation focuses on dividends: what they are, how they are determined, and why dividend rate alone is not a sound way to compare policies or companies. Along the way, Tricia explains why policy illustrations are only snapshots in time, how owner behavior affects the outcome, why future dividend projections should not be treated like promises, and why declared dividends are different from projected ones. She also explores why life insurance companies plan conservatively and why headline numbers do not tell the whole story. This is Part 1 of a two-part discussion on dividends and building your banking system through dividend-paying whole life insurance. ------------------------------------------   Follow Thrivewell 👉 Facebook 👉 Instagram 👉 Linkedin  👉 TikTok   Get In Touch: [email protected] Learn More: banklessbydesign.com     Disclaimer: All content on this site is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
