Like I said, I did the same thing. I pay 1/24th of the watch each month for 2 years and have the rest invested. My $$$ will continue earning interest on the balance until the final payment is made. When you put it on a real "charge" card, with an interest rate, that is a different story...
Confused in general yes. Confused about debt? You guys decide. There are many ways to look at the same concept and my choice was to tell a 23 year old to stay away from debt. Simple as that. Not the forum to discuss risk as the major component of ROI.
