14 seconds in and he mentions the Rothschild family. Oh, thats my family tree, although we are from the branch that lived as peasants in Europe and came here for a better life.

Ill have to watch this at some point but for now Ill just spend less than our income and maintain our debt free status. Works for me.

Yes, I think you're trolling.
But I do have a simple family bank, and it's working well.

I watched about the first 20 seconds and found the guy's voice annoying and non-confident. (It's ok to be non-confident.... but it doesn't help sell in a presentation.)

I skipped forward to the 10 minute mark and more platitudes...

No way I could watch 35 minutes of this. Can someone summarize it, or provide a transcript.

I skipped forward to about the 30 minute mark. It's a variation of whole life insurance... something called the PFB Optimized Whole Life.

Don't think it will fly with many of the members here since many here pay cash and avoid interest payments... And mosts members here save a lot more than the example shown there, direct our own investments, and don't have the fee structures associated with a whole life policy.

Here's my reaction to the platitudes in the video...

If it sounds to good to be true.....

Here's the website:
https://privatefamilybanking.com/partners/

As far as I can tell, it seems to be all about selling their training course and book.

I didn't watch all the video, but it seems to be talking about using life insurance with very specific riders as a tool to build wealth.

InfiniteBanking.org
Nash is the man who came up with the process years ago.

Bank on Yourself is a book by Yellen that explains the concepts well.
I think Yellen is using the book to get clients to contact her so she can feed them to insurance brokers and get a lead commission from them. (So the book is really a lead generator.) But the concepts are clearly written.

The people I know who have successfully used this tool follow Nash - InfiniteBanking.org

The host of Radical Personal Finance has spoken on his podcast about this. He thinks the idea / tools can work for people looking at using it for over 20 years due to the upfront costs of the insurance. I think highly of the financial advice he gives on his podcasts so I think this adds weight to the validity of this tool. (My favorite podcasts are his Friday Q&A sessions. I learn from most of those.)

Some posters on BiggerPockets say they use this tool to help fund/manage real estate investments.

I've read the Yellen book and I'm investigating it for myself. One friend of mine is very financially savvy and has been using the Nash method for a few decades. He recommends it to me highly (and he has opportunity in getting a commission, lead fee, etc from me).

This is as far as I've gotten.

He gets attention using this family name? Heavens know why. As far as I know many families have funds and thusts and other organizations to mange wealth.

The most invormative answer. Thank you.

I went to an "Infinite Banking" lunch seminar about 5-10 years ago. It was a pitch to push life insurance policies as an investment. What really galled me in their numeric examples was interest calculations in mutual fund examples calculated with simple interest, not compound interest.

Nothing to see here.

Yes, I saw that! They obviously leared some different mathematics than I did at school. Life insurance policies could be an idea woth exploring on your own. Anyways, it is good to make your own opinion.

When I get time, will go back and read these articles again.

Your original post looked very much like a troll. There was a link to video, and the thoughts you posted were very much "troll-like".

FYI, I have a thread "Inter Generational Family Wealth". It explains my meandering thought process as I solved a few challenges we had with accumulated stock.
