It probably is a better investment. The younger you are, the more so. But of course, that’s not the choices that will be presented to you. If you go to an electronics dealer, they will want to sell you electronics. If you go to a broker/dealer, they will want to sell you investments. No one expects them to be familiar with each other’s products.
I’m 90% retired. I buy, sell, and repair electronics to bring in a bit of change and keep my mind sharp. I think every piece of electronics I have was “pre-owned”, and I’ve saved a ton of money. I did break down and buy a new Dell 2 in 1 laptop that really caught my eye, no regrets. My motto for many years was, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”. That was recycling before it became popular. Now I adhere to the four Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair.

Marvelous thing about the 401K TV. It compounds your interest in the shows you watch.

If he buys it, it will be great for the salesman’s 401K.

Does that mean I can defer paying for the TV until it’s 65?
