Agree with your premise but not your delivery. Stinks of bragging to me.

Big deal, I financed my Z. I have enough stashed away to buy it cash (or pay it off if I need to), but my rate of return on my stash has so far been +25% which even factoring in interest on the Z is +20%. It made more sense to finance for me. Ever think of that? Thats how banks make money, borrowing short and lending long + pocketing the difference. Works the same for us, the smart ones who dont over extend themselves anyway.

ETA: I see no recovery in the next 5 years and things actually getting worse, devolving into societal breakdown.
