That's cool and I could do the same but it's not as smart as you think it is for a lot of reasons.

You're missing out on free CC points that can be used as cash
Everyone should have credit and credit cards at the very least for emergency purposes
You have missed out on one of the greatest market runs in American history where you could have easily beat any reasonable loan interest rate
etc...

Just saying that some people need to live by the Dave Ramsey method you are because they are financially retarded but it's actually not as brag worthy as you think it is.

One of my cars is 0.9% the other is 1.9%

I can do better investing that money than buying the car outright.

But then you can't brag on TD that you follow Dave Ramsey's advice

You do realize you can still save doing the things I said? In fact, you will actually save faster putting that cash in a safe dividend paying mutual fund or something while taking out a low rate on the vehicle.

I have not. 3 vehicles so far, not sure I'll be able to do that for the next one though.

Yes.

I am assuming you max out the Roth?

If not it should be above a taxable mutual fund.

And I’m assuming the bulk of the Roth is in equities, with only a portion conservative for the emergency fund.

Absolutely.. if you don’t realize that by all the responses you have already received, I’m not going to waste my time with you.
