Did I make a mistake in Financing? How long do you finance?

I don't understand the response, from beemerphile1 especially the parts about "I pay cash" and "some people like being in debt". Some of us do what is financially beneficial to ourselves. I have payed cash for large items and have also financed and payed off early. I don't see the benefit of taking cash out of savings if my savings is paying me more interest then what i would pay in interest for borrowing that amount.
