I just did some simple calculation. ASB Loan vs Without ASB Loan.
Assume monthly repayment is Rm1,200 for Rm200k with loan tenure 25 years.
Without Loan 25 yearsStarting
Principal Rm0
Monthly Deposit Rm1,200
Period 300 months
Dividend 7%
After 25 years
Principal Rm360,000
Dividend Rm617,756
Total Rm977,756
----------
Loan 200k 25 yearsStarting
Principal Rm200,000
Monthly Deposit Rm0
Period 300 months
Dividend 7%
After 25 years
Principal Rm200,000
Dividend Rm945,083
Total Rm1,145,083
Loan Rm200,000
Interest Rm160,000
Total Cost Rm360,000
Profits
Rm1,145,083 - Rm360,000
Total Profits Rm785,083
----------
Without Loan Rm977,756 vs With Loan Rm785,083

Do correct me if I am wrong. Maybe I might miss some of the calculations. Btw, why some people say taking loan can earn higher due to compounding effect?
Quite a few wrongs there buddy....
First, for without loan, you cannot deposit RM 360,000.00 as the max you can deposit is RM 200,000.00. So you are stopped right in your tracks there in terms of injecting more cash into ASB.
Second, for the loan calculation, you shouldn't minus the 'cost'. This is because in both scenarios, each would pay RM 1,200.00 per month. The interest is already factored in. To put it simply... At the end of the day, how much would each have in the bank to FREELY utilize? The loan guy doesn't have to give back the bank RM 360,000.00 at the end does he? NOPE. He is free to spend RM 1,145.083.00 as he sees fit. And the non-loan guy gets to spend his RM 977,756.00
SO.... loan actually earns more by : RM 1,145,083 - RM 977,756 = 167,327.00. Although, the non-loan guy would never ever able to reach RM 977,756 as he could only actually deposit RM 200,000.00 and not RM 360,000.00. Once he does reach the max 200k, he can only sit and watch while compounding interest takes over. And this is even before we apply the different techniques like terminate/reaaply every 3 years to further boost the ROI.... it would leave the non-loaners in the dust left behind by the loaners...
This topic has been argued or debated countless times and it has already been established beyond any shadow of doubt that Loan earns more.
