Did you know that the average person spends 35% of everything they make

banking and finance by allowing you to be your own bank? Imagine funding
all of the things you would normally buy with your own system so that YOU
are making the interest on all of these items instead of the bank and creditors
while being able to fully fund your retirement plan. This is a strategy that’s
been around for centuries, but very few have known how to optimize it correctly. It has been used by such people as J.C. Penny, Walt Disney, Babe
Ruth, and John McCain but now these secrets are being revealed to people
