i understand that. but for most of the ppl even if u save 50%, u still can't buy car/house without loan. and starting the investment only when u cleared the debt would be too late.
Ky_khor1) Read carefully, we had said time and time again housing loan is the exception.
2) For car loan,
A) You are paying the bank effectively 6% to 7% interest every year.
B) The only kind of investment that will earn more than 6% to 7% is highly risky.
So, does it makes sense to pay (A) or do (B). Which one is a better return for your money?? Of course (A), it is risk free. But, the problem with most people is they have no idea how much interest that they are paying to the bank. They tied themselves up in a 9 years loan. After that, it is too late. They may get hit with penalty payment even if they payoff the loan early.
