Stop Wasting $168,000 on Youth Sports; Do This Instead (Ep. 265)

$168,000. Gone.That's what most parents spend on youth sports — no savings, no scholarship, no return.

Are you spending $12,000 a year on your kids' sports — and have nothing to show for it? Most parents will drop $168,000 per child on activities, travel, and gear over 14 years — money that quietly disappears instead of building your retirement.

In this episode of Without the Bank, I'm breaking down the strategy that changes everything: how to funnel your kids' activity spending through a whole life insurance policy so that money builds wealth instead of draining it.

We cover:
➮ Why the "scholarship strategy" is a financial myth most parents fall for
➮ The exact numbers: how $12,000/year becomes $367,000 in cash value over 21 years
➮ Why the infinite banking concept  beats a 529 plan for most families
➮ The hidden restrictions in 529 plans that financial advisors don't warn you about
➮ How to use this strategy to fund college, a car, or even your child's first business

Your kids don't have to drain you. They can actually help you build.
