I've been averaging 6-8 over the past few years (yes, some losses in there as well, including GM stocks.. ouch...).
Company stock options

Of course, I haven't sold anything yet so the 20% is all just unrealized gains, but it's still doing better for me than if I had just taken it all as cash and used it to pay for my car. Regardless, with interest rates being so low the original quote that I replied to "debt is no good" is a foolish way of looking at things. The interest rate on my car is 2.9%, it's easy to beat that even without taking on a lot of risk.
