if you are upcoming put the cash in your sacco learn to leverage
Best advise ever! 200k would be 600k in another like 6 months and that is assuming you dont save anything else between now and that time... then you can do 2 times what you can do with 200k. Do not fear loans. Love them, but only good loans. food for thought.
@Wendz , which are the good loans? Anyone?
A good loan is one taken to purchase an appreciating asset. e.g. If you were to take a loan in 2012 of 600k to purchase an undervalued stock like KCB when it was at 23/- would give 25,000 shares. Total repayment of the sacco loan including interest at 12% p.a. and repayment period of 3 years would be 720K or about 20,000/= per month repayment. If you sold those 25k shares at current price of 44, that would work to 1,075,000/=. That's basically a good loan.
If you were to buy a depreciating asset e.g. a car for 600k, consider the costs of running it and you resell it for 300k. Now that's a bad loan
