I'm sorry but I've been dirt broke, with family (wife n kids). I'm talking about making the choice between buying bubble gum and having enough to pay the bus fare home. Never in a million years would I buy brand new furniture, ipads, god damn -speakers-, if I were that broke again. Food, rent and utilities comes first. Priorities people.
So these business are not really preying on desperate people, but stupid people with poor impulse control.
