Patience: More Than Just a Virtue.

 The advert for Curry’s (a major UK electrical retailer) says:
 
Buy now, pay
Up to 9 months
Later
29.9% APR

I would re-write that as:

Save for
 9 months and
Then pay cash

My method has two benefits:

1. You avoid going into debt and therefore escape one of the major sources of the heightened stress levels endemic in today’s society.

2. Assuming inflation runs at less than 29.9%, which it almost certainly will, you’ll get the product cheaper.

I suppose I’m just old fashioned and illustrating why I don’t belong here.
