Stop Wasting $168,000 on Youth Sports; Do This Instead (Ep. 265)
About this episode
In this episode, Mary Jo Irmen discusses how parents can stop wasting money on youth sports and instead use that spending to build wealth through a whole life insurance policy.
$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. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 The $168,000 Problem No One Talks About 01:00 How the Math Actually Breaks Down 03:00 The Smarter Way to Fund Sports 04:00…
