BTW, I used my credit card a few years ago to buy a high-end bicycle I found while traveling. It was on sale for about half price, so I jumped on it. I didn’t want to drain my checking account all at once, so I paid it off over two months.

I think I paid around $50 in interest, but I saved about $1,000 on the bike. In that case, the interest was a small price to pay for the opportunity—it was worth it.

I still have the bike.;-)

NEVER buy “durable” stuff you won’t want to keep for its usable life.

Saves no shortage of buck$ to invest for your future.
