    But it is only 3.75% for 30 long years. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. How else can I get $120k cash at 3.75% for 30 years?
    I will keep their money safe in case they audit me. Once the loan gets mature, they won't care anymore and I will put it down on a house.

    BTW today I talked to a garbage truck driver with CDL Class B. I asked him about his income and whether it is worth it. He asked me to guess. I said $1000 a week after taxes. He said, Oh no I make more than that.
    Any truth in that or he was just bluffing? But his job is tough, driving in residential areqs and picking up garbage at the sams time.

    You're borrowing money at nearly 4% to park in a bank account at what, 2% at best? You're losing money doing that. There is no point in borrowing money to just park in a bank. I'm by no means a financial or legal expert but that seems like inviting trouble, we're talking bank fraud type of trouble, 20 years in prison type of trouble. I wouldn't do it but I'm kind of a chicken.

    Why would they send me to prison? For keeping their money in my checking account? It doesn't make sense.

    That $20k is costing you $15k in the long run… a 30 yr loan on $20k seems crazy

    I will be driving for Wilson. Do they have 401k plans for their drivers?

    Dont walk RUN. The whole #### thing sounds like one of those nigerian price needs help scams to me.

    Besides you should only get a loan when its NESSESARY. Examples being medical expenses, unexpected truck repairs, replaceing your car that just blew up, needing to expand your business NOW because a contract that more then makes up for how much you borrowed may slip through your fingers if you dont ect.
     
    48Packard, Doealex and Solo Soul Thank this.

    Government won't make any money on that. 3.75% won't even cover the inflation.

    I'm not entirely sure I may be entirely wrong. You're talking Small Buisness Assistance type of loans from the government right? Those are designed to be spent to start or expand your buisness, don't know if I would want to be caught financing a house with one of those loans.
