Short video excerpt (Jayson Lowe) addressing whether it’s too late to start ‘becoming your own banker.’ Lowe argues age is not a barrier: banks don’t ask age when you deposit money, and someone must perform banking functions throughout your life — that person should be you. The clip uses a teller-deposit analogy to illustrate the point.
One frequently asked question that we receive is, am I too old to get started in the process of becoming my own banker? My response is always the same. Think about the last time you went into a commercial bank to deposit money. Did the teller ask you how old you are? Of course not. The teller just simply wants to know how much you want to deposit. And so, as it relates to this process, you're never too old. You're going to need to use some money for the rest of your lifetime. Someone and some organization must perform the function of banking for as long as you're alive, and that person should be you.
