Show me the data behind the study or it ain't worth the paper it's written on. Once I get the data I'll bet I can find several dozen flaws and self serving assumptions. Case in point no where in the hokey write up did they mention the interest you earn when you leave that $8,000 invested or the additional interest you pay when you finance that $8K. That's finance 101.

You live in Mich. goto U of M and tell them they are full of cow excrement! Being a Buckeye fan I already knew that though! Go Bucks Blue $ucks! LOL

I am afraid bid_time is right. Until you read the actual study and see what they left out and what they included and how they arrived at their conclusions the study is just one of hundreds of thousands that mean really very little. It may turn out they are right or it may turn out they have left out some important data or used outdated statistics or made assumptions that just are not that supportable in the real world. Just because it's done by some grad students at U of M does not mean its Gospel.
