Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 11, 2022

Pay later … with interest.

Mr. Banker has a dotted line special just for you!

I never like to shop online. I like to actually see the thing, hold it, poke it, and then decide “Do I want to pay $1.99 for this?”

My wife treats me like a credit card.

I’m always being used or denied

You give them enough credit and the next thing you know they will be wanting student loans.

I pay off my card every month and my card company keeps trying to get me to fall for some plan that will cause me to pay interest.

LOLOLOLOLOL

“NEW” buy now pay later????

Ever hear of credit cards? No interest financing for X number of months?

So typical of Generations N (narcissist), reinvent a worse version of the wheel then brag about it.

Buy now, pay later. Sounds like a couple of my divorces. I bought the line, then almost paid with my life. Buyer beware… applies to so many things.

I don’t understand How the “new” buy now pay later is different from using a credit card.

“New”? Comedian Sam Levinson mocked it back in the early ’60s; called it “buying on the lay-awake plan”.

Sounds like student debt…don’t worry, the gov’t will take care of it for you.

The people trying to sell you debt are not your friends.

Sure. Buy now and wait for the next gov’t “stimulus payment.” 8^ (

Time payment schemes exploded after WWII. People had money and the manufacturer were hyper from war production. My veteran uncle used to call them “A dollar down and a dollar a week” schemes. Of course, back in late late 1940s, early ’50s, a dollar would buy you four gallons of unadulterated gasoline.

Life is only a slasher movie it you let it!

Don’t go in that dark basement!! Don’t buy that on credit!!

What’s the big concern? When they take on the debt that they can’t afford, let the Government pay off their debt. Sort of like student loans. Those of us that, worked while going thru college and graduate school while raising our families, paid off what monies that we did have to borrow, as Graduate School was, and still is, so expensive are the real SUCKERS……

I had a friend who was offered a job in NC who moved from Kitchener Canada. She bought a house full of new furniture and just moved it south. Never paid more than the 5% down.

It’s called credit cards: Buy now and pay pay pay pay pay pay much later…

Slasher movie?

I’m a fat guy. I have to try clothes on because even two pair of jeans by the same manufacturer have probably been sewn by different people and hence different size.

What does a slasher movie have to do with using credit cards to pay later? That makes no sense to me.

buy now pay later? isn’t that what a credit card is?

Paging David Rose from “Schitt’s Creek” for this one:

" Okay, I didn’t use money to buy this item because I put it on my credit card".

Sounds like a cardless credit card.

“Buy now, pay later” is not a new thing at all—it is called an installment loan, or a credit card.

Buy now, pay later? Is that credit card, or layaway? Everything thing old, is new again, except got a catchy name.
