I couldn&#8217;t pass it up!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Awesome! You paid cash, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No way!&#8221; he said. &#8220;I put it on my credit card.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hear ya. <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id17854-3-things-you-should-never-pay-for-with-a-credit-card-and-one-you-always-should-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I put everything on my card<\/a> too, just to take advantage of the cash rewards &#8212; but then I pay it off in full at the end of the month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, no,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t afford to do that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then maybe you didn&#8217;t get quite the deal you think you did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when he looked at me kind of cross-eyed. &#8220;What do you mean, Len?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you what I mean: Nobody in their right mind should <strong><em>ever<\/em><\/strong> go into debt to buy a big-screen television. After all, taking on excessive debt limits our future financial options because we end up spending tomorrows wages today.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, people who buy things on credit rarely get the bargains they think they&#8217;re scooping up.<\/p>\n<p>Take my young friend, for example. True, he saved $400 at the checkout stand; but those savings will end up being only fleeting. Here&#8217;s why: Most people who use their credit cards irresponsibly aren&#8217;t concerned about making interest payments &#8212; so they&#8217;re more likely to make minimum payments that ultimately increase their final purchase costs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I can&#8217;t say with any certainty what my friend is going to do, but if he only makes a minimum monthly payment of $50 at 18% interest, by the time he pays off his credit card &#8212; 5 years and 2 months from now &#8212; his &#8220;$2000&#8221; big screen television will end up costing him $3077.<\/p>\n<p>Does that sound smart to you? It shouldn&#8217;t take five years to pay off a lousy big screen television. I mean, this isn&#8217;t a brand new car, folks.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, people who continually use their credit cards to finance their lifestyle with the latest cell phones, newest autos, no-holds-barred vacations, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id12985-i-just-made-the-biggest-impulse-purchase-of-my-life-but-its-ok.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">impulsive big-ticket purchases<\/a>, usually end up in a financial death spiral that prevents them from living the kind of life they <em>really<\/em> want.<\/p>\n<p>They also forfeit a golden opportunity to pay down their existing debt and attain financial freedom. Financial freedom that, in the real world, gives savvy <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id281-job-description-for-the-household-ceo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">household CEOs<\/a> the power to snap up those too-good-to-be-true bargains with cold hard cash when they become available.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping that my friend&#8217;s big-screen TV will still be working when he makes the last of those 62 monthly payments &#8212; especially considering how much he&#8217;s paying for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: See Modern Britain<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not too long ago a twentysomething friend of mine was telling me all about the brand new big-screen high-definition television he bought.
