A friend of mine worked in sales. He got hired on at a local chain furniture store as a management trainee. His first lesson, day one, was “we don’t sell furniture…we sell credit”. That’s where their money was made.

The tractor scam. You actually buy down the intrest rate when you purchase. 0% is you buying down the rate from 8% on average. A tractor I was looking at that was 0% was 25% more.

What a great video. I was fortunate enough to find Dave a decade before opening my own business. I’ve been in business for just over 5 years and have never held debt and laugh when the bankers try to talk me into a business credit card. I know so many business owners and friends in general that think they’re making so much money on cash back credit cards. I guess I’ll never know.

0% financing usually has a cash price. For a Bobcat skid it might be a $7,000 cash discount so the financing is actually $7k not 0%.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ZERO PERCENT FINANCING! Every lender charges money to lend; nobody borrows money for free. That price at zero percent is an inflated price. They just raise the price of the equipment and call it zero percent. You can't even pay it off early and save money!

So, the 4,000$ worth of appliances I paid, for when I bought my brand new manufactured home last year, that clearly stated "0% INTEREST if paid in full before × date" is fake?

In reality it’s more like $3k worth of appliances and and 8% interest for 3 years or so… but if pay that off early you can save on interest. Paying off a $4k loan with priced in 0% interest. Has zero savings cause you bought the interest to begin with unlike $3k worth of appliances at 8%

@gabrielgonzalez6456 "in reality" EVERYTHING is inflated. Cars, houses, groceries, etc etc. In reality, if the price for an item is × & "goes down" next year, there is something called inventory & new products. If I was to pay off the remainder on my house and save × $ from interest, "I still bought the interest" on the house that would of been 1××,××× dollars AFTER the interest? I think people live in delusion because EVERYTHING "is inflated". No matter what it is.

0% interest credit helped me pay down my cards fast, no high interest eating up my hard earned money. Dave doesn't like it but my Disney card years ago was only used for transfers, 20% store cards, etc. Every payment had the principle go down and not get eaten up by interest.

I'm glad there are the few that know this, adopt this, & apply this with much success. Everything I bought for my 1st brand new mobile home was financed at 0%. Best buy & conns. I've paid them both off WELL before the terms ended. Actually saved ~1,000$ on interest alone. Also, my AMEX blue card has made me ~400$ this year alone! Plus a very low DTI & good credit. Once things go down I'm FINANCING that older porsche 911 😊

I did the same thing to quickly pay off credit card debt years back. The problem is that most won't stop using them and they end up in more debt than they were before. If disciplined, it is a great way to quickly get rid of the pain, but the bank is counting on folks using that card again. And then the payments are distributed across the debt proportionately so the 0% debt is paid down while the new purchases rack up tons of interest in the background. Promo rate cards are a bigger scam than the standard ones if we don't know how they work.

@@phillipchristensen3202 it’s not really a scam, you just have to educate yourself and know yourself. I had 0% for furniture for 18 months and paid it off earlier after shopping and knowing I couldn’t get the item cheaper. I have taken out loans on cars for a low interest because my credit rating is great and paid it off earlier and it was my choice not to pay a car in cash. That isn’t always horrible but you need to know what you can afford and what you can pay off. I pay off my cards every time I buy some thing and I get hundreds of free points, there is no one that’s going to tell me that that’s a bad thing when I’m not paying anything to the credit card yearlyor fees I understand that people have addictions, but I doubt Dave would want liquor stores closed because of alcoholics or gambling closed because some people can’t stop at a lottery ticket or fast food places closed because some people are dying from eating junk every single day . We have choices and we need to educate ourselves on what we can do to help if we have a problem. I don’t demonize something because of how someone else handles it.

I run a business and I’ve never done anything on credit other than managing all purchases through our credit card for the 1% back. It’s all backed by cash on automatic payment. 0% loans aren’t an issue if you have the cash, but at least get short term treasury bonds or something to make money off of it.

He explains it better when people call and say that if they pay off the house they lose the interest deduction. What he meant to say is that if you pay $9,000 of interest, it saves you from paying $3,000 in taxes. But you still paid an extra $6,000. In this example is not quite a quarter for a dollar, that typically is the case when he talks about houses. He says that paying $10,000 in interest saves you from paying $2,500 in taxes. Basically, you pay a dollar, so you don’t pay a quarter. It only makes sense if you REALLY don’t want to give 💰to the government 😂😂

I don't want to call debt a necessity, but it allows you to have a significantly larger amount of flexibility when trying to expand rapidly. It doesn't have to be a very big portion of a company's capital structure, but it is necessary to scale quickly. Obviously, you can build a company without debt, look at the Ramsey company. Maybe this doesn't apply in this situation given the fact that he's talking about "entrepreneurs," but larger companies do largely rely on at least using some amount of debt to expand, especially when needing to finance large fixed assets. And that should be ok, Dave doesn't freak out on people for having a mortgage, he shouldn't freak out on businesses either for similarly important purchases.

1. Whether or not leverage is good entirely depends on the details of the loan and the opportunity available. 2. Even when dave tells the story about the farmer, it doesn’t support his point. Yeah you’re paying $9,000, but you’re paying the money out either way. I’d still tell him to just pay.

What Dave leaves out is what you earn with the cash you have available when borrowing. Pop Quiz...your next pick costs 90K. Interest on the loan for 60 months is 8% and you're only earring 5% in your money market account. Pay cash or borrow?...BORROW!!! If you said pay cash you lose money over the 60 months. (Hint: You pay simple...you earn compound.)

That is not what leverage is. Leverage is making a profit (he's at 20% of revenue) on othe rpeople's money. If you don't have the money, you can still earn a profit for the costbof the interest. And with inflation, the money becomes cheaper in the future.

He's really charismatic but I think wrong. 1. Save a percentage of taxes through write-ofs - I rather pay 6k a year than 90k once (more optionality in the form of money for longer) 2. You get sub-par quality if you use 0%-financing - Maybe, don't know, my point is more on debt generally 3. You buy differently (used, cheaper through negotiation, etc) - Probably, but that's not possible unless you buy tools for yourself or are a second hand dealer (only applicable to small subset of businesses) 4. You don't get a lot of interest on money in the bank - True, but who has their money in the bank, unless strategically? Money has to be used productively (and then it also generates yields that are worthwhile). 5. "You walk different" - It's all in your head. Meditate or something and don't overleverage.
