			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like every week now, someone writes us to let us know they forwarded one of my blog posts to Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey, or urged them to take me up on <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Suze &amp; Dave: Let's debate..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/suze-orman-and-dave-ramsey-lets-debate.html">my standing offer to debate them</a></span> about Bank On Yourself.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5901" title="fly on the wall" src="http://www.bankonyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-on-the-wall-300x199.jpg" alt="fly on the wall" width="210" height="139" /></p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve said numerous times, I know Suze and Dave have helped many people get out of debt and get their financial act together.   However, there are two critical areas we <em>strongly</em> disagree on.</p>
<p>Neither of them has taken me up on the offer to debate me &#8211; yet.  But I can&#8217;t help but <em>wonder</em> if they&#8217;ve ever actually checked into <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="What is Bank On Yourself?" href="../../../../../">Bank On Yourself.</a></span></p>
<p>What would it be like to be a fly on the wall as Suze and Dave discuss Bank On Yourself? No need to wonder any longer, as our hidden video camera captured it all. Click the play button below&#8230;</p>
<div class="callout-youtube">
<div class="callout-videobg"><p><a href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/suze-orman-and-dave-ramsey-discuss-bank-on-yourself.html"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></div>
</div>
<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, the statements made by Suze and Dave in the video about why you should invest in mutual funds and why you should avoid whole life insurance are direct quotes from their books.</p>
<p>And <a title="Questions for Suze Orman" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/magazine/25wwlnq4.t.html?_r=3" target="_blank">Suze really did tell the New York Times</a> she doesn’t follow her own advice about investing in the market.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-5867"></span>And yes, John Bogle, the founder of Vanguard – the largest mutual fund company in the country – really <em>has</em> written a stunning exposé about the smoke and mirrors mutual fund companies use to pull the wool over your eyes regarding the <em>real</em> returns you&#8217;re getting&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">The conventional rates of return (we rely on) to measure performance reflect performance that is higher, and in many cases <strong>much higher</strong>, than returns earned by shareholders.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 420px;">- John Bogle<sup>1</sup></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<h2>So why don&#8217;t Suze, Dave and <em>most</em> other financial gurus know about Bank On Yourself-type policies?</h2>
<p>The three main reasons for this are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Very few insurance companies even offer the kind of policy that maximizes the power of the Bank On Yourself concept</li>
<li>Insurance agents and financial advisors who help their clients implement this strategy take a 50-70% cut in commissions to do so</li>
<li>Probably because of reasons #1 and #2, this kind of policy is not even covered in most (and maybe all) of the training programs insurance agents take to get their licenses.  It&#8217;s also not covered in the training they take to receive advanced designations, like CLU, ChFC, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In fact, advisors who pride themselves on their 30+ years of experience and the &#8220;alphabet soup&#8221; behind their names often admit they&#8217;ve never heard of these kinds of policies!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a big part of the reason why <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Learn more about the Authorized Advisors..." href="../../../../../certified-advisors">the Bank On Yourself Authorized Advisor Training Program</a></span> was created.</p>
<p>To receive a <em>free </em>Analysis and get a referral to one of only 200 advisors throughout the U.S. who have met the rigorous qualifications, simply <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Request your Analysis..." href="../../../../../analysis-request-form">request it here</a></span>.  There&#8217;s <em>no obligation</em> to find out what <em>your</em> bottom-line numbers and results could be if you added Bank On Yourself to your financial plan.</p>
<div class="button alignright"><a class="button request-analysis" title="Request a FREE Bank on Yourself Analysis" href="/analysis-request-form"></a></div>
<p>Many people have been willing to keep an open mind and look into the <em>facts</em> about Bank On Yourself, and people have been flocking to it, in order to have peace of mind and financial security.</p>
<p>But if you&#8217;re reading this, and you still have a few questions holding you back, you can find the answers here:</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="What's the rate of return on Bank On Yourself?" href="../../../../../whats-the-rate-of-return-on-a-bank-on-yourself-plan.html">What’s the rate of return of a Bank On Yourself-type policy?</a></li>

<li><a title="How is Bank On Yourself different?" href="../../../../../suze-orman-and-dave-ramsey-lets-debate.html">How are these policies different from the ones the financial “gurus” talk about?</a></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UPDATED January 13, 2012:  It&#8217;s been more than 3 years since I challenged Suze and Dave to a debate, but they haven&#8217;t taken me up on it yet.  This post sparked some <em>very</em> lively debate and insightful comments, so be sure to read those, too.</p>
<h2>If Bank On Yourself is so good, why isn&#8217;t everyone already doing it?</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s why&#8230;</p>
<p>If you browse the personal finance section of any bookstore, turn on the TV or open a magazine on finance, you&#8217;ll discover that 99 out of 100 financial &#8220;gurus&#8221; will insist that whole life insurance is a lousy place to put your money.  Most will recommend you buy term life insurance instead and invest the difference in mutual funds.</p>
<p>That’s in spite of the fact that, had you invested in an S&amp;P 500 index fund for the past 12 years, <strong><em>your nest-egg wouldn&#8217;t have grown at all</em></strong>.  <em>And that doesn’t even factor in 35% inflation during this period!</em></p>
<div id="attachment_16082" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 204px"><img class="size-full wp-image-16082" title="Suze Orman &amp; Dave Ramsey" src="http://www.bankonyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/1-16-2012-11-11-08-AM.png" alt="Suze Orman &amp; Dave Ramsey" width="194" height="173" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Suze Orman &amp; Dave Ramsey</p></div>
<p>But I&#8217;m getting a little ahead of myself. Part of the problem is these financial experts know <em>nothing</em> about the <em>specially designed</em> type of dividend-paying whole life policy used for the <a title="What is Bank On Yourself?" href="/home">Bank On Yourself method</a>&#8230;<span id="more-1676"></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not really their fault.  Out of 1,500 major life insurance companies <em>only a handful offer a policy that has all the features required to maximize the power of this concept</em>. That&#8217;s one reason it&#8217;s not even mentioned in most industry training programs.</p>
<p>And the fact that <a title="Learn more about the Authorized Advisors..." href="/certified-advisors">an advisor who helps a client implement a Bank On Yourself-designed policy</a> takes a 50-70% cut in commission could be another reason why you haven&#8217;t heard of this before now.</p>
<h3>So how is a Bank On Yourself<em>-</em>policy <em>different</em> from the kind of whole life policies Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, David Bach, and others talk about?</h3>
<h4><strong>Here are three key differences:</strong></h4>
<p><strong> </strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12780" title="Key difference image" src="http://www.bankonyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/Key-difference-image.jpg" alt="Key difference image" width="32" height="58" /><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Key Difference #1: </strong></span> These experts say the money you can have access to in the plan (your &#8220;cash value&#8221;) grows too slowly in a whole life policy, and say you typically won&#8217;t have any cash value at all in the first few years.</p>
<p>A Bank On Yourself-type policy, however, incorporates a special rider or option that turbo-charges the growth of your money in the policy <strong>so you have up to 40 times more cash value<em>, </em></strong><strong><em>especially</em> in the early years of the policy</strong><em>.</em> This allows you to use it as a financial management tool from Day One.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take our word for it &#8211; here&#8217;s a statement from a <a title="What the experts don't know..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/what-the-experts-dont-know-about-bank-on-yourself-policies-part-1.html">Bank On Yourself-designed dividend-paying whole life policy</a>, at the end of just one year.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s an <a title="What is the rate of return on Bank On Yourself?" href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/whats-the-rate-of-return-on-a-bank-on-yourself-plan.html">article that reveals the rate of return of a properly designed Bank On Yourself type policy</a>. It puts traditional investments to shame, and it does that with<em>out</em> the risk or volatility of stocks, real estate, gold, commodities and other investments.</p>

<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12780" title="Key difference image" src="http://www.bankonyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/Key-difference-image.jpg" alt="Key difference image" width="32" height="58" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Key Difference #2: </strong></span>Most financial experts, including Suze and Dave, write about policies where your death benefit stays level for the life of the policy.</p>
<p>However, in a <em><a title="What is dividend-paying whole life insurance?" href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/what-is-dividend-paying-whole-life-insurance">dividend-paying whole life policy</a></em>, dividends can be left in the policy to purchase additional coverage, while at the same time growing your cash value in the most efficient way possible.  <a title="What the experts don't know about dividend-paying whole life..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/what-the-experts-dont-know-about-bank-on-yourself-policies-part-2.html">This policy statement shows you how the death benefit keeps growing,</a> and <em>proves</em> these policies are different from the ones Suze and Dave talk about.</p>
<p>Please note that this statement is from a policy I started <em>before</em> I learned about Bank On Yourself<em>,</em> and it has grown <em>much</em> more slowly than a policy designed to maximize the power of the Bank On Yourself concept.</p>
<p>Even so, <a title="Compare traditional investments to Bank On Yourself..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/compare-your-plan">this policy has left my mutual funds and real estate investments in the dust.</a></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-12780" title="Key difference image" src="http://www.bankonyourself.com/wp-content/uploads/Key-difference-image.jpg" alt="Key difference image" width="32" height="58" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Key Difference #3: </strong></span> The financial experts often rant about how, when the policy owner dies, the insurance company &#8220;only&#8221; pays you the death benefit and keeps your cash value.</p>
<p>But with a Bank On Yourself policy it&#8217;s <em>very</em> different, as you can see on <a title="What the experts don't know..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/what-the-experts-dont-know-about-bank-on-yourself-policies-part-2.html">this policy statement</a>.   It shows you how, had I died on the date this statement was issued, my family would have received a check for <em>more</em> than the original death benefit AND the cash value in the policy <strong>combined!</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>So I am throwing out the gauntlet to Suze, Dave or <em>any</em> expert who wants to challenge me.  Just name the time and place!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m so confident that they&#8217;ll come around once they get the facts about Bank On Yourself, that I&#8217;ve reserved a special place for their endorsements along with the <a title="See who endorses Bank on Yourself!" href="/endorsements/">trusted experts who have already endorsed Bank On Yourself</a>.</p>
<p>And remember, Bank On Yourself will beat anyone&#8217;s best financial strategy or <a title="Take the $100,000 Challenge..." href="http://www.bankonyourself.com/challenge/">we&#8217;ll pay you $100,000</a>!</p>
<div class="button alignright" style="margin: 20px 10px 20px 20px;"><a class="button request-analysis" title="Request a FREE Bank on Yourself Analysis" href="/analysis-request-form"></a></div>
<p>No two policies are alike, because each one is tailored to the clients unique situation.  So <em>your </em>results will be different.
