Hell, I can almost get that from dividends in a blue chip mutual fund.

Capital gains would be just a bonus.

The best are the ones that ask "what's the note"? The dumb asses with a 350 credit score think they can just take up the note that's in someone else's name instead of getting their own financing.

Best part is when you spell out at exactly how profound of a difference it makes over time via mathematics and compound interest, they don’t even argue the merit they just say “well everyone has different perspectives” as if the conversation didn’t start with them looking down their nose at anyone who didn’t do it their empirically inferior way.

Even ignoring the financing duration, the same crowd acts like hoarding such a sum over years in CASH is itself a smart move so opposed to investing it and liquidating at the purchase. It isn’t the 70s folks. Interest isn’t sky high so that you need to have massive piles lying around so you never use credit.

Most APR I see are in the 3-5% for vehicles even with great credit. Are you saying you know of a better place to park 8-20k that makes more than 3% guaranteed?


Granted, I bought a few years ago, but my rate was/is just over 2% for a (fairly new) used car through Chase.

blue chip mutual fund.




The stock market?

Why would the bank loan me 15k at 3% if they could instead invest that 15k in these wonderful bluechips themselves?

They do you idiot, especially the major ones.

Why they offer it at all:

1)Risk diversification
2)That mortgage, or more specifically the monthly note, can be counted and reported as an asset of the bank. The bank can present this asset to regulatory communities to show that they are meeting legal liquidity requirements.

They prefer to be making something rather than nothing.

I’m not saying you should be all in on the market.

I’m saying you should layer your assets exactly like they do.

And only using the market for retirement isn’t doing that.
