— Slide 2: Use the BLOC to Manage Your Money —
Making Your Money Work for You

If you have any debt (or if you are financing a college education), you should never let your money sit idle in a bank checking account.

Money sitting in your checking account is not working for you; it is only making money for the bank.


For this demonstration:

let's say that your monthly net income is $5,000 (paid in two increments bi-monthly) and your monthly living expenses are $4,000.

(we will demonstrate how this program can be used for financing college)

Your bank checking account would look like this:

Date From To Withdrawal Deposit Balance
July Pay Direct Deposit   $2500 $2500
July Checking Mortgage Pay $1250   $1250
July Checking Living $1000   $250
July Pay Direct Deposit   $2500 $2750
July Checking Auto Loan $500   $2250
July Checking Living $500   $1750
July Checking Living $750   $1000
Ending Month   $4,000 $5,000 $1,000
Why let the bank use your money

What the diagram illustrates is that the bank had access to your positive account balance throughout the month paying you zero or little interest for that use.

Banks then turn around and use that money to lend to consumers and businesses at higher rates.

How about letting you use the money

the "Banker" credit line program will work just like a bank by using your positive cash balance to finance college and other life-events.

let's review this further in the next slide
