But over five years you had to spend $621.16 a month to make $2385.58, or about $40/month.
I'd rather have the $621.16 a month.
If you put the $35000 in a savings account at 2.5% (where can I get one?) and withdrew the $621.16 a month to pay the loan, I don't think you'd be making as much - would you even be ahead?
Added:
While I haven't use the 12C in a while (or ever, I was a TVM on the 41CX person), it looks to me like you'd have made 0.15 in your savings account at the end of five years.
If I save the $621.16 over the next five years, I end up with the same net worth, but with the flexibility of spending on something else some month's if necessary (tires?). Along the way, I bet my net worth is simlar as well.
