How To Start Your 4-D Banking System
Overview for starting your own 4-D Banking system by repurposing existing assets for maximum liquidity, applying for new accounts & loan options, and rerouting future cash flows to maximize control.
Hutch from BankingTruths.com introduces 4-D Banking, a strategy that goes beyond traditional life insurance, leveraging assets like retirement plans, stocks, real estate, and precious metals to maximize compound interest and tax efficiency. By coordinating these assets, 4D Banking enables tax-free borrowing and mitigates risk while enhancing liquidity, allowing assets to continue compounding even when used. This approach emphasizes the “four dimensions”—tax exposure, growth potential, risk/volatility, and the “triple L’s” (liquidity, leverage, and loan rate)—to create a balanced, flexible financial strategy for building wealth over time.
At Banking Truths, we believe in providing education & modeling so you can decide if this strategy is a good fit for you:
