That is very interesting, I didn't realize that about CU. I like that Bethpage is putting ATMs in CVS pharmacies now. I still have money in Citibank because I like being able to pop into a 7-11 and use the ATM free of charge.

With the price of cars these days, it has become fairly common. You can always pay faster when possible.

I would rather keep the money liquid due to how low the interest rate is. You can bet your sweet ass I would be paying faster if rates were higher.

Yeah, it's very convenient since in the past CU's have not made good use of ATMs. But I'm talking about big stuff - when we bought our house down here we just went to a local CU that has shared services and got the checks we needed to buy our house. Then there was a screw up (our fault) and we had to leave the closing and go back and have the checks re-issued, which was a huge hassle that a bank NEVER would have been willing or able to accomplish that same day (and of course it was a Friday) but the CU got it done. It involved a few calls to Bethpage but it got done within an hour.

At 0.9%-2% why would you not stretch that as many years as possible? Where can you borrow money at those rates?

Tell me about it.

I was pricing out a new work truck to match the 10 year old truck we will be selling. It comes in at a list of almost $51,000 on the Ford.com build site. The site offers a monthly payment of $727. The fine print reads 'With $5,140 down; 72 month term and 4.9% APR.

Given the price of some of the cars out there, it's no wonder 6 years is offered.

Unfortunately I can't get that kind of offer on the car I want but it doesn't matter as interest would be less than 1k for me so that is good enough.
