Unless you have a lotta liquid cash, you will always finance a depreciating asset....

i just bought a house. So that is an example of financing an appreciating asset.

Then you broke two major financial rules. Never finance a car for more than 36 months.

DOH! :(


I will likely sell it in 24 months anyways.

So that will be three rules, then?

wait whats that rule?

Well, I don't know if that one is an actual rule or not... but after two years you will probably have finished paying all the interest but not made that much of a dent in principal.

If you didn't put any money down on the car, then you are upside down on your loan already and have broken FOUR rules...

Ok, how about a redeaming rule. Unwritten financial rule #0:

It is just money. You'll get more of it later. If overall, you are happier with the product/service than you are with the equivalent amount of money, then you made a good purchase.

arent you financed based on an annual percfentage rate?

so if I want to pay off the entire loan the first year I just pay the initial loan amount times the annual interest rate.

This number is lower than what I would pay out if I didnt pay it off in 1 year but instead paid it off over 4 years.

correct?
