Infinite banking is not a scam. But people often get scammed by unscrupulous agents who spin great stories while selling poorly designed policies from already underperforming companies.

Hutch and Bryan Nelson take the question from both sides. First, the outside critics: the stock crowd who say the S&P 500 beats it (they're right, and it's beside the point) and the Dave Ramsey crowd who hate debt.

Then comes the inside job: How infinite banking agents who are long on philosophy and short on the math often scam their clients

The red flags we cover:

• The agent who tells you you're "paying yourself back the interest"

• The “Get your money working for you” urgency

• The “Phantom High Early Cash Value” trap

• The most popular Infinite Banking insurance companies that are more stock than mutual

• The lopsided first-year premium dump-ins that drag on performance

Plus our rule of thumb: if you can't max-fund four of the first seven years, the policy you’re being sold is probably too big and will benefit the agent more than you.
