Tricia and Jonathan continue the Becoming Your Own Banker series with the second half of Nelson Nash's Grocery Store example (5th edition, page 16). They unpack the "back door" problem — why taking from your own system without paying it back is a quiet form of self-sabotage — and how scrupulous honesty, long-term thinking, and disciplined repayment are essential to building a thriving family banking system. They also discuss the IRS as a "silent partner" in business and why Nash challenges the usual "friends and family discount" mindset.
