ASB financing loan worth it or just invest cash slowly?

The math only works over a long horizon, minimum 10-15 years, because early years your instalment is mostly interest and the compounding needs time to shine. If you might need the cash out in a few years, dont do it. I did the loan young, set it and forget it, and by year 10 the units had grown nicely. Discipline is the real product, it forces you to invest monthly whether you like it or not.
