The people who need to use layaway could get the same effect by using a savings account!

Not really, that's easy to say when you don't rely on layaways to help buy for more than a couple of kids.

Lay Away
Mrs. howela used to Christmas shop everything on lay-away when our children were young. She could set aside $500 worth of gifts for $50 and shop early when the crowds were smaller and selection was best.
Now the kids are grown and gone and I don't get anything for Christmas. ♪♫ ♫♫ ♪♪ ♪♪ Oh I believe...♪ ♪♫ in yesterday...♪♫ ♫ ♫♪ ♪ ♪♪ Last edited by howela; 09-02-2007 at 05:46 PM. |

It's also easy to say if you have even a basic understanding of how credit and banking works. Actually, you don't even have to do that, you just have to realize that Wal-Mart taking your money from you doesn't make you pay anything off faster, you're just as well off using a coffee can, they're not going to run out of school uniforms while you save up.

Pie, What is the difference in you tucking away say $10 a week or $20 a week in a Joe suggested coffee can or a T'belle suggested savings account (that's the cost of the whole McDonald's meal you order by the way) AND placing something on layaway at WalMart? Nothing. At the bank you actually could make some money off of interest if you'd do this every week for 52 weeks of the year regardless of the need, school clothes or Christmas.

I hope Wal Mart does not find out about your Micky D's banishment
