“Just get it at Rent A Center”
Tbables
"I had a coworker that got pretty much everything there.
“It’s only $20/week, and they’ll replace it if it breaks.”
$20/week for how long? Oh cool, so you’re paying more than double for it? Got it."

Not teaching basic personal finances in school, is wrong.

It's the parents responsibly to teach thier children about finances, if they can't take them to a bank and have a bank manager talk to them. Yes, they will do that.

#3 I wanted to do that too when I went to buy my first car. My card's credit limit was high enough to pay for the whole cost of the car and I would get the card's rebate points from the purchase. Unfortunately, the dealership didn't go for it. They would only let me use my credit card to pay for the accessories, not the car itself. After thinking about it, I realized that with the 2-3% merchant fee the credit card company charges the seller for the purchase, the dealership would lose out on the sale. Either that or the dealership would require me to pay 2-3% extra to cover their fee.

#14 Well, it depends on when their parents grew up. When I was in elementary school during the 70s, ie the Cold War period, almost every day all news media were warning that the Soviets could nuke us at any time. It could be next year, next month, next week, next day, or the missiles are on their way RIGHT NOW! And even more specific to myself was that my family lived in downtown New York City, the #1 priority target for any nuke.

I clearly recall lying in bed, I think as a high schooler so early 80s, having a serious contemplative moment about dying and came to peace with it. It was also then that I came to the conclusion that there was no point in having ambition. We were all going to die soon anyway. If I made it to 20 years old, that was good enough. Any additional years would be bonus.
