Almost everyone has purchased a car during their lifetime (probably more than one).

Did you know that if you consider a typical finance charge of 10% that you could actually earn over 1/2 a million dollars if you invest that money instead of giving it to a bank to purchase your car?

In fact, this is exactly why banks like giving loans. They take the finance charges and invest it themselves.

For example:


Let's say you buy a car for $20,000 and finance it over 5 years at 8% interest.

Your monthly payments will be $405.53

And you'll end up spending $24,332 for the $20,000 car.

On the surface this doesn't sound bad because you'll be borrowing the money to buy the car over 5 years.

Well, let's assume that you bought the car straight out for $20,000 and then paid yourself back for 5 years at $405.53.

You would end up making $4,332.

Now let's invest that $4,332 for 50 years at 10% return.

That $4,332 would end up making you $508,537!!!


It's all about what you decide to do. Give the interest to the bank or give the interest to yourself.

What if you bought a $20,000 car every 5 years?

You could actually take each $4,332 that you would otherwise be giving to the bank and invest it each time you purchase a new car.

You could actually make over $1,323,105 if you buy a car every 5 years:

$4,332 Invested at 10% Interest
50 Years $508,537
45 Years $315,762
40 Years $196,063
35 Years $121,740
30 Years $75,591
25 Years $46,936
20 Years $29,144
15 Years $18,096
10 Years $11,236
Total $1,323,105
