It’s my money. Why should I pay it back?”
It’s one of the first questions people ask about private family banking. In Episode 186, Seth Hicks and Vance Lowe explore why the answer matters long after the purchase is made.
Using a family car purchase as a starting point, they discuss the difference between a gift and a loan, the role of repayment, and what happens when a cash crunch interrupts the plan.
You’ll also hear their perspective on preserving principal, keeping capital available for future opportunities, and developing the habit of thinking like a banker.
In this episode:
- Why ownership does not replace a repayment plan
- The gift-versus-loan distinction
- Reviewing payments when circumstances change
- Replenishing capital for future needs
- Questions to ask before applying a family banking strategy
