The Infinite Banking Concept basically allows you to capitalize yourself, lend money to yourself, and return interest to yourself tax-free. As you avoid the money-sucking reality of banks, lending institutions, and credit card companies, you can build true wealth in your own, self-contained, perpetual, funding mechanism.
