But its guaranteed!!!!



You cannot lose money on interest you don't pay on money you don't borrow - at the end of the day, not taking out a loan or eliminating it early IS a "guaranteed" return, in that it avoids a negative return. In the real world, that is the same thing (although it generally doesn't compound the same).

It's not that it isn't guaranteed.


It's that while it ISN'T guaranteed, you can easily earn double that rate in returns in an index fund over a longer period of time.....and it is a pretty safe bet to assume as such if you can just let it ride for a couple of years.

Opportunity costs, opportunity costs, opportunity costs.....
