    It’s not always true that you can’t get a better interest rate for savings than a cost in interest. It is true that the money you could make in those scenarios is extremely small or at absurd levels of risk.

      Well, you could invest in a stock that goes “to the moon” as they say… But that’s capital gains gambling, as far as I’m concerned.

      Most interest/dividend payments will be far below what you’ll pay in interest on a loan, with few exceptions.

        Investing in the stock market instead of paying a loan is stupidly risky. There’s a few loans that are possible where you could get a rate lower than some savings accounts, but you will only net 1-2% on your money in that scenario.
