I owe about $6,000ish on my work car loan, monthly payment is $340 per month.
The interest rate is 2.75%, inflation is at roughly 2%ish depending on who you ask. The realized interest rate is about 0.75%ish.

Dave Ramsey would be screaming at me to make my work car loan a priority, I would tell him lol sure dude.


No. No. No. That is not how that works. You are paying 2.75% on a depreciating asset. The only way you can offset it would be to invest your $6,000 (or any amount of money) and earn a positive return.

Inflation has nothing to do with the conversation. In fact, if there were to be inflation, it would have a negative impact on your counterbalancing investment. .
