Do you even *want* to get well financially?

Humans tend to reject solutions to their problems. In the book Becoming Your Own Banker, Nelson Nash talks about the problem most people face: they do not have control over their need for financing throughout their lives.

If there is a solution to this problem, can you think of any reason not to embrace it or, at minimum, to make some effort to understand it?

Embrace the solution, friends!

Buying things based on interest rates alone can be a big problem. We seeing the proof of that right now in the commercial real estate market where owners having to refinance at higher rates is causing fire-sales pretty much across the board.

It's also true with other asset classes like whole life insurance. Sometimes people will pass up whole life because they think they can get better rates on either growth or loans somewhere else.

But one thing we know is true: Rates change. People who passed on whole life 5 years ago because bank rates were lower are kicking themselves now that bank rates have gone up!
