You don't expect to pay us, THAT'S when we care!

Yeah, but that actually takes work.
...which is one of the reasons they are poor.
At least not until she fails to pay the vig...

>> One night, the group split up in several teams to play a game we called bigger and better. Each team was given a paper clip and a street name. We would start at one end, knock on a door and say that we’re playing a game and could they trade our paper clip for something bigger and better. Within an hour, we came back with a couch. For the cost of a paperclip.<<
Great game idea! You know, that story about the guy who started with a paper clip and ended up with a house is true...

Being poor requires a continuous stream of bad decisions. Low IQ, lack of self discipline and laziness make those bad decisions easy to make.
Idiots.
That is why there are resale shops, thrift shops, yard sales, flea markets and assorted other ways to get used items. Not so nice looking? Make a damn cover for it.
That’s why if you could magically transfer all the money from the rich to the poor, the rich would get it all back within a year.
That’s why reparations is a moot idea...it won’t change the wealth at all.
I’ve said, for over two decades, “It is expensive to be poor in the U.S.”
Yeah for some things that you only need for a short period of time it is okay.
Like renting a washer might be cheaper than going to the laundry mat in the short run but it is still better to find a good used washer or buy a cheaper model without all the extra settings.
We got a wonderful sofa at the local charity thrift store for 75. We kept it over ten years until new cat tore it up. We went back and got a fantastic leather couch for $200 (and they had several more perfectly good couches on offer for less ).
But, then some asswipe leftist comes along and does the math, points it out and somehow it becomes OUR fault that they have no impulse control, no money, etc. And the answer is to take more of OUR money.
It gets so tiring.
Because they've been told they're ENTITLED
Yea, but he had a red paper clip, not an ordinary silver one. Huge advantage.
Depending on one’s budget and location, consignment stores are a good way to find quality furniture at a reasonable cost. In the DFW area, yard/rummage/garage sales in the more affluent neighborhoods are also a good way to find good furniture at an equally good price. If you don’t mind a ding or two, scratch-and-dent places are good for new appliance with minor issues with the finish. The other posters are correct, it just takes some work and a little effort to find something within a person’s price range.
Being this stupid should be painful. Maybe then she would learn a lesson....
Nothing new. I went into a rent-to-own store in Dallas years ago to rent a small black and white TV while my larger TV was being repaired. It would cost more to rent than to buy a new one on the spot. I turned around and walked right out.
They’re not stupid, just indifferent. After all, it’s not their money they’re spending so why should they give a hoot? When that’s gone they’ll just whine for more.
Yep. I would never buy a used car at a place that said bad credit is no problem. It mens the prices are way too high.
