Today's Rant - Five Years, No Interest
I spent a good deal of time in the garage this past weekend and had the stereo on. Of course, various retailers were advertising all these "great deals" and so on. And I noticed that they are now offering "no interest for five years" on items like mattresses, furniture and so on.
FIVE YEARS??? Can you imagine locking yourself up in a furniture purchase for five years? 
Are we not empowering people to buy more crap that they can't afford buy offering terms like these? I mean come on...didn't anyone learn anything from the Great Recession? (which we're still in, by the way).
I'm done now. Sorry...I slept poorly.
