Why High Earners Still Feel Broke, And How to Fix It Now
The Truth About Your Wealth: Are You Building or Just Borrowing?
Most people believe that if they work hard, save money, and invest in the stock market, they will achieve financial security. Yet, even high-income professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners often feel financially uncertain.
- They earn high incomes but still feel like they’re just getting by.
- They invest in the stock market, but market volatility makes them nervous.
- They follow mainstream financial advice but realize they’re not in control of their money.
The reason? They are operating as Borrowers, not Builders.
The traditional financial system is designed to keep people financially dependent on banks, Wall Street, and government-controlled retirement plans. The wealthiest individuals and institutions don’t play by those rules; they control their capital, leverage financial systems, and create cash flow strategies that work for them.
This is why the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) isn’t just about growing wealth; it’s about reclaiming control of your financial future. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, it’s time to break free from the Borrower mindset and become a Builder.
The Borrower vs. Builder Mindset: Where Do You Stand?
The difference between a Borrower and a Builder is not income; it’s mindset and financial strategy. Here’s how they think and operate:
Borrowers follow the traditional system: work, save, invest, and hope for the best.
Builders create financial certainty by controlling capital, leveraging financial systems, and ensuring their money is always working.
If you want to build wealth that lasts, it’s time to start thinking like a Builder.
The Borrower Trap: Why Traditional Financial Strategies Keep You Stuck
Most high-income earners aren’t struggling because they lack money; they struggle because they’re trapped in a system designed to keep them dependent.
Let’s break down the biggest financial myths keeping Borrowers stuck:
1. The Illusion of Retirement Security
401(k)s and IRAs are marketed as the best way to retire, but they come with major drawbacks:
✗ Market Volatility: You have no control over your retirement savings. A single recession can wipe out decades of investing.
✗ Government Restrictions: You can’t access your money without penalties before 59½, and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) force withdrawals (and pay taxes) at age 73.
✗ Tax Uncertainty: Future tax laws could dramatically impact how much of your retirement savings you get to keep.
Builders don’t gamble their retirement on the market. They create a private financial system they control.
2. The Myth of Employer 401(k) Matches
While 401(k) matches seem like “free money,” studies show that companies offering higher matches tend to pay lower salaries. You might be sacrificing upfront earnings in exchange for a benefit that isn’t as valuable as it appears.
Would you rather:
✓ Get a higher salary today and control your money?
✗ Or lock your money away for decades with no control?
Builders prioritize financial flexibility over employer-controlled benefits.
3. The Bank-Centric Model
Banks love Borrowers because that’s how they make money.
✗ They take your deposits and lend them out at higher interest rates.
✗ They charge you fees while paying you almost nothing in interest.
✗ They control access to your capital, so you have to ask permission to borrow your own money.
Builders don’t rely on banks to store their wealth; they use Infinite Banking to create their own private banking system.
to store their wealth; they use Infinite Banking to create their own private banking system.
The Builder Solution: How Infinite Banking Puts You in Control
Infinite Banking is not an investment. Rather, it’s a financial control system that allows you to:
✓ Store your wealth in a system you own.
✓ Access capital at any time through tax-free policy loans.
✓ Continue compounding growth even when borrowing against your policy.
✓ Hedge against inflation through continuous compounding + dividends that can exceed your premiums.
✓ Create a financial system that lasts for generations.
With Infinite Banking, you no longer rely on banks, Wall Street, or government restrictions. Your money is always working, protected from market downturns, and accessible on your terms.
Real-World Examples: Borrowers Who Lost vs. Builders Who Won
Borrowers Who Had Money but Lost It All:
- Professional Athletes & Celebrities: Despite massive incomes, many end up bankrupt because they don’t control their wealth.
- The Vanderbilt Family: Once one of the richest families in the U.S., their wealth disappeared because they didn’t structure a financial system to sustain it.
Builders Who Created Generational Wealth:
- The Rockefellers: Established a private banking system that has kept their wealth growing for over a century.
- Walt Disney & Ray Kroc (McDonald’s): Used whole life insurance policy loans to fund their businesses and build empires.
The difference? Builders create a financial system that guarantees long-term wealth.
