EERIE, PA – Local savant Kent Dreyfuss is blissfully unaware he’ll wind up paying $62.73 for NASCAR Heat 2, a video game regularly priced at $40 and on sale for $29.99, according to local reporters. “I’ve been waiting for this one to go on sale for a while now and this is sweet, ten dollars off!” said Dreyfuss, who charged the game to his Visa card that has a balance of $13,647.22, a 17.43% interest rate, and a minimum monthly payment of $28 as of press time. “Can’t wait to fire this one up with some beers after shopping on Black Friday!” commented Dreyfuss as he loaded his bags into his truck.
haha, this is too sad for words……
But also probably too true for too many!
Credit cards are a winning strategy…until you forget to pay the bill in full. Sadly, there are many cases where your example actually happens.
Credit card companies wouldn’t be in business if there weren’t!
You just described what I call the 80%
Are you from Eerie ? I’m down in a Reading, PA suburb
Ha! Or is it 85%?
No, I used Eerie because I always got a kick out of the name. It’s very downtrodden if you haven’t been. It’s name fits perfectly 🙂
