Overview

"Function Like a Bank, Profit Like a Bank" is a powerful guide that shows readers how to take control of their finances by creating a Family Banking System.

This book challenges that status quo, teaching readers how to reverse the flow of money by leveraging High Cash Value Life Insurance to build a self-sustaining, tax-advantaged Family Banking System. By applying the principles of banking used by financial institutions, readers can eliminate debt, fund major purchases, and grow wealth — all while keeping the profits within their own family.

We don't think about this, but everyone has something that functions as a banking system in their life, yet few people profit from it. Instead, outside entities like banks, credit card companies, and other financial institutions reap the rewards. We give away about a third of our income to other entities in the form of interest.

When you buy a house, 70- 80% of the payments in the first 7 years go directly to the bank in the form of interest. In the end, your house will cost you 180-200% of what the original price was due to the interest you pay the bank. 

When you pay cash, you may not have an interest payment, but you still have an interest cost because you give up the interest you can earn on that money.

Of course, you have to spend money to live, but you don't have to give up the growth of your money. Your Family Banking System allows you to keep your money growing and working for you every day of your life, even when you're using it elsewhere.

The author highlights the three biggest expenses that silently drain wealth from most individuals and families:

  •  Taxes
  •  Opportunity cost
  •  The interest paid to others

By understanding and addressing these expenses, you can reclaim control of your money, redirect the profits back into your life, and build lasting generational wealth.

This book provides a step-by-step guide to:

  • Create a Family Banking System using High Cash Value Life Insurance
  • Generate tax-free passive cash-flow
  • Eliminate debt while financing life's most significant expenses through your own system
  •  Recover Lost Opportunities

He concludes the book by:

  • Showing how your 401(k) steals your wealth and prevents you from growing wealth
  • Why the Average Rate of Return of Your Portfolio isn't what your focus should be on
  • Other financial lies you're told, so you keep giving your money away to others.

About the author

Andrew Keehn is a tax strategist, entrepreneur, and wealth strategist with a deep understanding of both the personal and professional aspects of financial growth. Andrew spent most of his time as a child in the small towns of Goff and Holton, Kansas. His upbringing in a tight-knit community fostered a sense of independence and a strong work ethic. The loss of the family farmed has shaped his career and financial philosophy today.

 

Andrew’s journey into the world of finance began at the age of 19 when he started investing in real estate while pursuing degrees in Political Science and Economics. This experience ignited his passion for building wealth, and he quickly realized that creating long-term financial success is about more than just putting money into the stock market — it’s about keeping the money you already have and reducing your most significant expenses, which, for most people, are taxes and the interest they pay to others.

 

As an ambitious entrepreneur, Andrew went on to own and operate a construction company and an insurance agency, but neither business fulfilled his long-term vision. His entrepreneurial spirit and desire to make a difference in other people’s lives led him to the financial services industry. However, his initial experiences in the field left him frustrated.

 

As a traditional financial advisor, Andrew quickly grew disillusioned with the industry's standard practices —advising clients to “invest” their money in financial vehicles that lock up their money and place all control in the hands of someone else. Traditional financial planning ignores true wealth-building principles that yield sustainable, generational wealth.

 

Andrew’s entrepreneurial mindset and personal experience as a business owner gives him a unique perspective on financial planning. As an Enrolled Agent (EA) and Wealth Strategist, Andrew helps his clients build comprehensive financial strategies that extend far beyond the stock market. He is constantly looking for the best tax strategies for his clients, and tailor's each client's plan for their unique situation.

 

 He is committed to helping individuals and families build wealth for multiple generations. Whether you're a business owner, real estate investor, farmer, or someone seeking to make more informed financial decisions, Andrew is passionate about equipping you with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to thrive.

 

Andrew loves the great outdoors, and on his days off, you'll find him fishing, hunting, coaching kids' wrestling, or building his farm.
