Is it better to pay off my car loan early or invest the extra money?

Asked by Maya Chen

Loan is at 6.9% with 3 years left. I have an emergency fund.

At 6.9% paying it down is a guaranteed 6.9% return. Investing might beat that over time, but not with certainty.

Check for prepayment penalties first. Most car loans do not have them, but some do.

Split it. Half to the loan, half into an index fund. You get progress on both and less regret either way.
