0% (as long as it's paid off in that time span) isn't always a bad idea.

Yeah, I like to keep the money in the market and pay down the line of credit just before the "due date"

Thankfully these are put more often than not under "promotional purchases"

agree.. 0% plans are a no brainer for me. Used them a lot over the years

Down side is that in visiting my parents they have 4K in all the bedrooms and

Do it. It will change your life. Colors will be brighter. Food more tasty. Sugar sweeter. Salt more savory.

Don't finance a toy. Set your budget and get what you can or save until your budget is higher

May I suggest that the quality downgrade in a $600 tv vs $1,500 is marginal

Ol Big Bear

Interesting. I didn't expect so many call outs on buying the TV period.
