- 0:49Speaker 4: I'm your host, Carrie Lutz.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Well, I first came across this person about ten years ago.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Bill Westrom has the unique ability to enable you to
- 1:00Speaker 3: pay off your mortgage in five to seven years, without
- 1:04Speaker 3: a lot of pain, without digging into your savings, without
- 1:09Speaker 3: borrowing the money from somebody else, Peter to pay Paul.
- 1:12Speaker 3: He's been doing it for nineteen years now, and well,
- 1:17Speaker 3: it's it's quite an interesting story. You find him at
- 1:21Speaker 3: truthinequity dot com. And if you've got a question for
- 1:25Speaker 3: Bill or myself, shoot me an email kl at Carrie
- 1:28Speaker 3: LUTs dot com. Bill, great to connect with you again, So.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Carry it's pleasure to be back.
- 1:35Speaker 3: So your system here. How can you pay off your
- 1:40Speaker 3: mortgage in five to seven years when you know the
- 1:44Speaker 3: mortgage is designed to be paid off in fifteen or
- 1:47Speaker 3: thirty in old likelihood you'll probably sell the house before
- 1:50Speaker 3: you actually pay off the mortgage.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Well, it's all a matter of leverage, Palp.
- 1:54Speaker 1: And if you look at the way that debt works,
- 1:57Speaker 1: whether it be credit cards, mortgages, whatever, you got the
- 2:00Speaker 1: terms of repayment set by the lender. And like you said,
- 2:04Speaker 1: a thirty year mortgage, you know that's just the bare minimum.
- 2:08Speaker 1: That's what you signed up for. But the bank's not
- 2:11Speaker 1: telling you it's going to take you thirty years. All
- 2:13Speaker 1: you got to do is, you know, if you want
- 2:15Speaker 1: to make it, pay it off in ten years and
- 2:16Speaker 1: make a ten year payment. And so it's again it's
- 2:19Speaker 1: the terms of repayment that are killing everybody versus the
- 2:21Speaker 1: amount they owe or the interest rate.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And that's what my.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Program is all about, is just to leverage more of
- 2:26Speaker 1: your income against that debt and through the process that
- 2:31Speaker 1: debt melts away like an ice cube under a hair dryer.
- 2:34Speaker 1: But it is just a matter of leverage. You just
- 2:36Speaker 1: leverage more income against the debt.
- 2:39Speaker 4: So how do you do it? And it sounds good?
- 2:41Speaker 4: But how do you do it? How is it done?
- 2:43Speaker 4: What's the magic behind? How's it done?
- 2:46Speaker 1: The magic behind it is a line of credit, a
- 2:48Speaker 1: revolving line of credit. And then whether it be a
- 2:50Speaker 1: home quit you line of credit unsecured or even on
- 2:52Speaker 1: a credit card. And the reason that it works that
- 2:56Speaker 1: way and it's so special is because you got the
- 3:00Speaker 1: evolving door, which means you can get everything you've got
- 3:05Speaker 1: income wise, paycheck wise to the line of credit as
- 3:08Speaker 1: a payment, but you don't lose liquidity to go pay
- 3:11Speaker 1: your bills. And as I describe it to people, the
- 3:16Speaker 1: line of credit basically becomes a vault. You still receive
- 3:19Speaker 1: income into checking account, you still pay bills from a
- 3:21Speaker 1: checking account, but in the middle of that you deposit
- 3:26Speaker 1: transfer your money in toto that line of credit. Because
- 3:29Speaker 1: your paycheck acts like a big payment. So if you
- 3:32Speaker 1: got a.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Five hundred dollars payment regularly or a five thousand dollars
- 3:36Speaker 3: pay check.
- 3:37Speaker 4: That five thousand dollars paycheck.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Is going to push that balance is to its lowest level,
- 3:43Speaker 1: which means you're paying the lowest amount of interest because
- 3:46Speaker 1: you got that low balance. And so that's really how
- 3:50Speaker 1: it works. Leverage your income through that line of credit
- 3:52Speaker 1: to save interest and accelerate the repayment.
- 3:56Speaker 4: It's a very simple concept. It's a very simple process. Really.
- 3:59Speaker 1: What I can get paid to do is untangle people
- 4:01Speaker 1: from the conventional world getting that income from whatever checking
- 4:07Speaker 1: account it's received, getting it into the line of credit.
- 4:09Speaker 1: The most special thing I do though, as far as
- 4:13Speaker 1: the acceleration process and saving interest, is I help people
- 4:16Speaker 1: establish a bill pay day. So if you take all
- 4:19Speaker 1: those transactions, all your bills for the month, believe it
- 4:22Speaker 1: or not, you can get it and moved to one day.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Now one hundred percent of your vendors and merchants and
- 4:28Speaker 1: all that they may not play ball with us, so
- 4:30Speaker 1: we can deal with those outliers. But that's probably the
- 4:33Speaker 1: most important thing I do do is establish a bill
- 4:37Speaker 1: pay day, so the income can save interest for twenty
- 4:40Speaker 1: nine days.
- 4:41Speaker 4: You pay your bills on one day m hm, okay,
- 4:44Speaker 4: So to chief.
- 4:46Speaker 1: That's an examp maximum efficiency in my program credit a linement.
- 4:50Speaker 4: Give us an example how this work?
- 4:51Speaker 3: Right?
- 4:52Speaker 1: All right, now, I'm going to use a number, say
- 4:54Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. If we had a twenty thousand dollars
- 4:57Speaker 1: debt in a line of credit, and if you're in,
- 5:00Speaker 1: I'm set in, you're checking account, you're going to pay
- 5:02Speaker 1: interest on twenty grand.
- 5:03Speaker 4: Now trance.
- 5:05Speaker 1: So let's assume we got a ten thousand dollars monthly income.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Now when you push that into the line of credit,
- 5:11Speaker 1: it's going to be treated like a payment. So that
- 5:12Speaker 1: twenty grand minus the ten thousand income is going to
- 5:16Speaker 1: drop the balance down to ten grand.
- 5:19Speaker 4: Does that make sense right? So is it treated like
- 5:22Speaker 4: a payment?
- 5:23Speaker 3: So you took twenty thousand off your credit line and
- 5:26Speaker 3: you paid down your mortgage with that twenty It could be.
- 5:30Speaker 1: The mortgage, it could be a vehicle, could be credit cards,
- 5:34Speaker 1: loan debt, the line of credit, or I I don't
- 5:37Speaker 1: care where the money goes. I mean, I've got people
- 5:39Speaker 1: using this to take vacations, to buy cars, to buy
- 5:43Speaker 1: real estate. So whatever you want to use the money for,
- 5:47Speaker 1: you use the money. But now we've got a twenty
- 5:49Speaker 1: thousand dollars ballance, and that's what they're going to use.
- 5:54Speaker 1: That's the number they're going to use. The charge interest.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Regardless of the rate ten to twenty percent, you're still
- 5:59Speaker 1: being charged. Now when that paycheck sits in the checking account,
- 6:06Speaker 1: the bank gets access to that money, and that's how
- 6:08Speaker 1: they make their money. They go take our deposits and
- 6:11Speaker 1: leverage them into some asset whatever.
- 6:13Speaker 4: That being a loan is an asset to the bank.
- 6:16Speaker 1: That's what they're that's why they lend money to create
- 6:19Speaker 1: assets I either promise or not, and they go make
- 6:23Speaker 1: money with it. Well, under credit line banking, you're taking
- 6:27Speaker 1: the money out of their hands, leveraging it for your
- 6:29Speaker 1: own financial gain in the form of interest savings. And
- 6:33Speaker 1: it's all your money. The bank can't go in there
- 6:36Speaker 1: and get it. And so again it's just leverage. It's
- 6:41Speaker 1: the best word I can use describe what's happening in
- 6:43Speaker 1: this process is just leverage your money against that balance.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's trying to steal money out of your pocket in
- 6:50Speaker 1: the form of interest, all right, so to me. And
- 6:53Speaker 1: so once you have your money in there, it sits there. Yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 1: bill payday comes along and you pull your expenses out
- 7:00Speaker 1: of it. Now a lot of people think, oh, I'm
- 7:01Speaker 1: borrowing money to pay my bills because it's coming out
- 7:05Speaker 1: of a credit instrument. But you're not borrowing money to
- 7:08Speaker 1: pay your bills. You're going to get your income because
- 7:10Speaker 1: that's where you put it. It's been residing in that
- 7:13Speaker 1: line of credit, saving you interest. So naturally, with it
- 7:17Speaker 1: being credit, when you pull your expenses out, that balance
- 7:21Speaker 1: is going to come up, which is okay, let's expect it.
- 7:25Speaker 1: And if we reconcile at the end of the month,
- 7:28Speaker 1: you have an opening balance and an ending balance unless
- 7:31Speaker 1: for evample, we pulled eight grand out for our expenses.
- 7:35Speaker 1: And so if we look at the numbers twenty thousand
- 7:39Speaker 1: to ten, if we put our income into it, ten
- 7:42Speaker 1: turns to eighteen after we make our bill payments, and
- 7:46Speaker 1: so we've got twenty thousand at the beginning of the
- 7:49Speaker 1: month eighteen at the end of the month. There's a
- 7:51Speaker 1: two thousand dollars difference. Where did that come from? Well,
- 7:55Speaker 1: we had ten thousand in income minus eight thousand in expenses.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That left us the dollar surplus for the month, and
- 8:02Speaker 1: that's the payment for the month. We can see that
- 8:06Speaker 1: I twenty went to eighteen ten thousand minus eight, there's
- 8:10Speaker 1: two thousand right across the board. And so if that
- 8:13Speaker 1: month we paid back two thousand. Now, if you can
- 8:15Speaker 1: average two thousand a month, then it's pretty easily to
- 8:19Speaker 1: calculate how quickly you could pay off. You just take
- 8:21Speaker 1: the balance twenty grand divided by an average two thousand
- 8:25Speaker 1: dollars surplus, and you've got twenty grand paid off in
- 8:29Speaker 1: ten months, which is a beautiful thing. This happens every
- 8:32Speaker 1: month every year with all the people I've been working with.
- 8:36Speaker 1: And so at the end of that ten months, you
- 8:38Speaker 1: got the twenty grand paid off, and the twenty grand
- 8:41Speaker 1: is sitting there right in your line of credit. You
- 8:43Speaker 1: get to go recycle and reuse that line of credit
- 8:46Speaker 1: for as long as you want to. A line of
- 8:48Speaker 1: credit actually is an endless supply of working capital when
- 8:52Speaker 1: you run credit line banking, because you're continually borrowing and
- 8:55Speaker 1: paying back.
- 8:57Speaker 4: So I want to listen to do some thing I've
- 8:58Speaker 4: ever seen.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Do I want to get a cash advance for my
- 9:01Speaker 3: bank here or because then they charge you no interest
- 9:06Speaker 3: safe for a year, but then you're paying a three
- 9:10Speaker 3: percent or four percent service George for the advance.
- 9:15Speaker 1: YEP, I don't call that interest, call it anything you want, right,
- 9:19Speaker 1: whether it's taxes, pair of fee, these interest it's all
- 9:23Speaker 1: just costs. Yeah, bottom line, no now zero percent thing. Yeah,
- 9:28Speaker 1: it looks good on paper. These companies are really good
- 9:32Speaker 1: at getting people focused on an interest rate. But the
- 9:35Speaker 1: interest rate doesn't cost you the money. The balance does.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And that's one thing that people need to understand because
- 9:42Speaker 1: the example I just gave you, if we take it
- 9:44Speaker 1: from twenty to ten, we cut the balance in half,
- 9:48Speaker 1: which means we cut the interest in half. We didn't
- 9:52Speaker 1: have to chase the interest rate to lower interest. We
- 9:55Speaker 1: chase the balance. And when you focus and chase the balance,
- 10:00Speaker 1: things just melt away faster than you ever thought. And
- 10:04Speaker 1: when it comes to interest and all that, I get
- 10:06Speaker 1: my people, my students, to not worry about it. You know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: if you don't want to pay interest, don't borrow money.
- 10:12Speaker 1: It's just like taxes. If you don't want to pay taxes,
- 10:15Speaker 1: don't earn any money. But that's not reality in our
- 10:20Speaker 1: society anymore. I mean, debt is a constant. It's not
- 10:24Speaker 1: going away. And that's why I'm so adamant about what
- 10:28Speaker 1: I do, because if you look at the government, we
- 10:30Speaker 1: owe thirty six trillion. But the government's got tariffs and taxes.
- 10:34Speaker 1: They can sell guns and Ammo to get rid of
- 10:37Speaker 1: that debt. And if you slide over the consumer side,
- 10:40Speaker 1: we owe eighteen trillion. But when it comes to getting
- 10:44Speaker 1: rid of that debt, we have no options except to
- 10:46Speaker 1: earn more, to spend less, chase interest rates, and play
- 10:49Speaker 1: this traditional game that the traditional bankers and lenders and
- 10:53Speaker 1: you know, the traditional model of capitalism in this country.
- 10:58Speaker 1: I mean, that's the end result is eighteen trillion to
- 11:00Speaker 1: the public, but we don't have a relief and our
- 11:04Speaker 1: debts grown by approximately eight trillion since twenty twelve after
- 11:10Speaker 1: the bubble popped. Interest rates have gone up continually over
- 11:13Speaker 1: the last ten twelve years, but it didn't stop people
- 11:16Speaker 1: from borrowing money.
- 11:17Speaker 4: People are going to if.
- 11:18Speaker 1: They need it, they're going to go borrow the money,
- 11:20Speaker 1: and they're going to go buy it. And why I'm
- 11:23Speaker 1: doing what I'm doing is because we need a better
- 11:26Speaker 1: model of banking and borrowing. Otherwise that eighteen trillion is
- 11:29Speaker 1: going to become twenty twenty five thirty. There's no hope
- 11:34Speaker 1: for us or our children in the next generation if
- 11:36Speaker 1: we don't get a better handle on our own personal.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Debt, because it just can't be. It's a cradle to
- 11:43Speaker 4: grave such.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So I guess at nineteen years lation right now, I
- 11:49Speaker 3: guess it's nine injurious for the country as a whole. Sure,
- 11:53Speaker 3: So nineteen years of doing this bill tell us a
- 11:56Speaker 3: couple of success stories.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Well I got a little a lot of success story
- 12:01Speaker 4: as well.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Well, it's just people paying off debt, you know, I've had.
- 12:06Speaker 1: One of my greatest stories was a young couple. They
- 12:08Speaker 1: were only twenty eight years old when they joined me,
- 12:10Speaker 1: and they had over two hundred grand and credit card
- 12:12Speaker 1: debt and car payments, et cetera. And they got rid
- 12:15Speaker 1: of all their credit or all their student loan debt
- 12:17Speaker 1: excuse me, in matter five years. And they paid their
- 12:21Speaker 1: mortgage off three years after that. So by the time
- 12:24Speaker 1: they were not even forty, they were totally one hundred
- 12:27Speaker 1: percent debt free. One recent gal that I'm working with,
- 12:31Speaker 1: the scro seventy seven, she owns twenty twenty two pieces
- 12:36Speaker 1: of real estate, with three of them with mortgages. There's
- 12:40Speaker 1: a woman that you wouldn't think would need my help.
- 12:42Speaker 1: She didn't need my help, but she did, yeah, need
- 12:46Speaker 1: somebody to teach her how to unload this stuff, asked,
- 12:50Speaker 1: And one thing she just recently did, she didn't want
- 12:53Speaker 1: to tell me.
- 12:53Speaker 4: She pulled forty.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Grand out of her line of credit and she bought
- 12:56Speaker 1: a four plex. Yeah, and so she's got another piece
- 12:59Speaker 1: of real estate. And again the forty grand that you
- 13:03Speaker 1: borrowed out of the line of credit. With her cash flow,
- 13:05Speaker 1: it'll be paid off within the first first year. And
- 13:07Speaker 1: then she'll just keep doing the same run the same
- 13:10Speaker 1: strategy credit line banking to pay off the rest of it.
- 13:13Speaker 1: So there's just a couple. I could spend an hour
- 13:14Speaker 1: with you with all sorts of fun stuff.
- 13:16Speaker 4: All right.
- 13:17Speaker 1: But I do get people too that come back three
- 13:19Speaker 1: to five years later, you know, they said, Hey, I
- 13:21Speaker 1: heard about this.
- 13:21Speaker 4: I wish I would have done it sooner.
- 13:24Speaker 3: I'm sure, I'm sure, all right, So Bill, just tell
