- WaldenverneyExplorerYou are right bro, but nowadays people don't have the responsibility to pay everything back. They benefit from the loans but they forget that this is a debt and this debt has to be paid. I know such a person. To tell you the truth I really don't understand him. He was called by a https://www.frontline-collections.com/premier-debt-collection/private-debt-collection/debt collection private agency many times. He even was visited by the collectors at home. You know what he did, he went to the bank and took money to pay the debt. Now he is called again by the other collectors. He is a crazy man. So just take responsibility and try to work more.

Well said. My dad has always said; "Work like you're going to live forever, but play like you're going to die tomorrow." My mom was killed in a motorcycle accident at age 46. And while it was a struggle financially for my parents, somehow I don't think the money they spent on camping trips for all the years I was growing up was thrown away.
The pay cash/ save crowd in my opinion are missing half the equation.
I am living proof. Wife died at 66 very unexpectedly. We spent the last 15 years rving, and going over seas. Spent a lot of money.
Would not trade those times for any amount of money
Kids grow up, people get sick and die, and get old. My thought don't go crazy, but have fun while you can, spend some money. You just never know what's around the next bend, enjoy life a bit, and worry less about money - way2rollNavigator II

Low payments for the few years I have left then let me kids pay it off. Lol

Unless your kid's names are on the note, it would come out of your estate or be repossessed if the note couldn't be satisfied - or written off. Kid's wouldn't owe anything. - ppineExplorer IIThere is no free lunch. You must earn it.
Some of the thinking on this thread is exactly how we created a housing crisis. - jesseannieExplorerAt my age it would a good thing.

Jesseannie - Edd505Explorerso all this talk of toys, percent on loans, 20 year financing etc. No one mentioned full timer spending 200K for 20 years. Whats the difference if you buy a house or DP? Taken care of the DP will last 20 years, I have seen houses trashed in less time.

However, just because you get a twenty year loan, doesn’t mean you have to take twenty years to pay for it. You can make double or triple payments, but if you run into a financial difficulty for a while, you can make only the required payment, or no payment at all for a while.
Well stated. That's why I like 30-year mortgages on homes, especially for new buyers.
Plus, I always get a kick out of buyers, especially very young buyers, saying that they're buying their "forever home" ..... yeah, right. Chances are about 1 in 7 (at best) that it will indeed be their 'forever' home.
Why shouldnt it be forever,if someone is happy livin in neigborhood they like.?
Plus houses apreciate in value in most instances.
One of my nephews bought tiny 2 br house many moons ago for 40 grand and now its worth Milion and half
Oh, it certainly COULD be their forever home. The point I was making is that chances are very slim that it will actually turn out to be their forever home.
And yes, there are those that bought low and now have a wonderfully valuable asset on their hands......as well as those that bought in the middle of the balloon (2005-2007) and lost it all.
The Real Estate pendulum swings both ways. - free_radicalExplorer

Why are so many people interested in what someone else does with their money? Yes 20 year loans are available for Rv's given certain parameters. Most people finance RV's. These are simple facts to address the original question. But what I can't wrap my head around is why so many people care about someone else's finances. And I was really blown away at the sheer number of financial advisors and wealth managers that are also Rver's on this forum.
Altruism
Its Basic human nature to help others to avoid pitfals we all been thru.
Living from paycheck to paycheck and living beyond your means will break you financialy
If you get indebted too much and sudenly lose your job due to economy slow down.
Sometimes unexpected things happen and half the country is in deep s*** mostly bc they havent saved enough money to keep them financialy stable.
