:ld:Why did you this route? and what was plan B?
Probably went through his divorce, gave her some furniture, and figured his money was good to refurnish and pay it off quickly.

There's literature that would have helped him, but it wouldn't help them so they didn't require he read and sign off on it.

Increasing the wages of the poor should eliminate the need for payday loans and rent to own...

If not the industry itself needs regulation. :mjlit:
”We need govt to do [A] to save people from voluntarily making dumb decisions... if it doesn’t work govt should do hopefully that will save the citizenry from themselves...”
:picard:
Plan C is no doubt more government intervention and surrogate decision making...

:hhh:

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this level of government hand holding.

As stated several times in this thread... if you are falling for scams in an effort to flex and/or live above your means... you need to hold the subsequent “L”

Naw businesses have shown that without government regulation they'll just do whatever they can get away with. They shouldn't be allowed to screw over people to that extent. There's no way they should be allowed to charge someone $1063 dollars for an Xbox One that is only worth $200-$300 because they split the payments up into $20 a week for 52 weeks. The level on interest on that is absurd.

Truth is Rent-A-Center doesn't anticipate you'll pay for the full 52 weeks. One of my boys used to work there driving around a truck repossessing shyt all the time. Their business model is you pay the full price very quickly and the other payments are just to milk more.

I figured this shyt out years ago, you pay like 20 bucks a week or whatever to rent a tv,which at first sounds like a good deal,but when you add it all up, it's much more than you'd pay for it if you just saved up and bought it from a place like best buy.

We've reached the point where @the cac mamba is a libertarian until the free market offends his white heterosexual male sensibilities. Then he wants to government to act. :PatriceTrump:

It's been fun watching you become radicalized as the democrats moved from a black male leader to a white female leader.
when did they ever have a white female leader? i don't recall one winning any elections :ehh:

oh, and at the bolded



if i said this offended my sensibilities, what would your counter argument be?

with sites like eBay, Craigslist, FB marketplace...
...there really is no excuse to be buying that shyt.

The only reason to do that is to stunt.

Its a mentality problem (the people that go there)...not a business problem.

I know people who make $50K - $150K that shop at thrift stores, and buy used everything.
Its because they respect money more.

ppl dont realise, if u broke you can kick back the same money youd be making WEEKLY payments with and eventually buy the shyt outright for the cheap....or get a credit card and pay it off with the money you were saving. theres no way to build credit going to RAC/Aarons with 450% interest.

fukk aaron, that nikka got my grandma over a fukkin tv. im slumpin him on site

Honestly if you're over the age of 16 and you fall for these scams, then quite frankly, you deserve to be scammed.
