That’s what I was thinking, or a yard sale.

She could probably get a used sofa, ect for about $50.

The ‘rent to own’ places are doing such great business because so many “poor” people feel like they need the ‘finer’ material things that the middle to upper-middle class has. Thus, they do stupid things like spending $2,000 on a $800 big screen TV(over years). That $20 per week payment just looks to good to be true! Stupid things like this is what keeps them “poor”.

I can’t tell you how many of these people I see. Often, I see some that have clothes that are worn out, shoes that don’t match, a car that barely runs, but they’re carrying around an iPhone. LOL You’ll see others that are in an obviously similar situation, they’ll use an EBT card for their ‘free stuff’, then immediately throw down a $20 bill for booze, smokes, and lottery tickets. I’m standing there behind them in line thinking about how I just paid for her junkfood so she can afford her booze/smokes/lottery tickets, and pay a $150 per month smartphone bill! grrrr
