I don't know if I have a super analytical opinion on it, but I think in general it's a bad idea for people to be buying so much stuff they can't actually afford. You shouldn't have to finance a pair of shoes!

I definitely lean the same way. I understand financing larger purchases, but not smaller ones. (Of course, some shoes can be a "large" purchase, depending on the brand, ha!)

I personally avail of this services. To be honest, I like it. However, we should also be responsible and buy only what we need and afford.

Good morning! I work in Medicare sales and I’m just getting tired of sales because I have to change these elderly people on their insurance very frequently, and it’s frustrating most of the time. I eventually want to be a Christian counselor and I just stared school but that’ll take awhile to get where I want to be. I just want to be happy right now without taking a major pay cut leaving sales. I’m making 80k now, I don’t need to keep making that but a decent amount while still helping people. 🙏
