Think you control your money because you have a 401(k), IRA, or a checking account? In this episode, we unpack the real problem in Becoming Your Own Banker: chasing rates on tiny savings while 34.5% of every disposable dollar quietly goes to interest.

We break down Nelson Nash's "Problem" chapter: why focusing on the rate of return on a small savings slice misses the bigger issue, volume of interest flowing out through housing, autos, and living costs.
You'll see how policy loans, mutual life insurance ownership (yes, you can vote), and building capital first create a perpetual tailwind (uninterrupted compounding) instead of fighting a constant headwind (fees, taxes, rules, market risk).
Plus: the mineral-rights story that flips conventional wisdom on its head.
Key Takeaways: ◦ Volume versus Rate: The big leak is interest volume, not APR. ◦ 34.5% drain: Roughly a third of every dollar goes to interest—cash buyers still lose to opportunity cost. ◦ Control the environment: You can't control markets, but you can control the banking equation for your household. ◦ Tailwind effect: Policies compound while you borrow against cash value. ◦ Mutual company edge: Owner rights (incl. voting) and conservative investing support guarantees and liquidity. ◦ Stop the race for ROI: Re-route cash flows first; the "rate" talk matters after you fix the flow.
