So funny... We bought our houses with no money down..

And we are middle class... and we are set for life, unless something catastrophic happens in the world, like, say, a zombie apocalypse. We were just smart about our money, and learned when it was to our advantage to borrow, and when it was advantageous to pay cash... Millionaires borrow money all the time, and yet they are... hmmm.. millionaires. In the right situation, borrowing can be a very smart thing to do. You did your thing, and got to your goal... We did our thing.. and got to our goal.. People ask about financing here all the time... and people borrow money to buy their boats.. all the time. I felt I would share my experience, so that others know that this can be a great option.

Also, if anyone is interested, I'm happy to share with you the bank I went through.. they had fantastic rates, and terms...
Well yes, I would be interested which bank (and interest rate, if you feel like sharing...). Also, were there restrictions regarding how old the boat could be?

Thank you!
