- OptionOfT 2y agoIn general in the USA a lot of things are pushed to you as monthly payments, and not the total cost of ownership. Yes, you can afford a $900 / month car note. But that doesn't mean that it actually makes sense to pay it for 72 months at some ridiculous interest rate.
- Spivak 2y agoIf you're not planning on switching carriers the financing offered by carriers is a 0% interest loan. If you just need a flight somewhere for a weekend trip, carry on a backpack, and pack your own snacks those $100 Spirit flights are real. If you play the game you actually do come out ahead. It being possible at all to get flights that cheap is the lifeblood of broke bitches. Restaurant surcharges are a mixed bag because so long as they're advertised at the door I think they're great, they make take-out cheaper. But Ticketmaster is just garbage and their practices should be strongly illegal because it's just fuck you pay more.
