I'm with Ramsey on the car note.



If you could borrow at 4% on a car loan and invest and earn 8% in the market, why would you not take advantage of that spread?

I don't take advantage on every spread. Do you refinance and cash out your house every time you get 20% or so equity and invest in the market? Not everything needs to be financed and money thrown in the market.

Nah, man! Why waste time with small potatoes car loans? You can borrow $3.5 million at 2.18% from Interactive Brokers. Can't swing quite that much? OK, how about $300K at 2.72%? You'll be knocking down mo money, mo money, mo money in no time, what with that steady and consistent ( ) AVERAGE annual 8% return that you fellers keep quotin'.

We need to get these debt-free folks takin' out margin loans, HELOCs... maybe even some interest free credit card offers, so that they can make some real money.

Woo! Yeah man!
