"losing interest" and not "being fuckin broke"
What do you think I'm gonna pay for those items with dude, my dashing good looks?!
This is the CEO of the "buy your burrito on layaway" company.
With the interest rate being 0 on that payment plan, the preserved $1.50 principal can be diversified into a broad-range ETF that is estimated to generate $0.0175 over the two-month horizon. I guess they don't teach financial literacy in schools anymore 🙄

"Even the ghoul massively profiting off of people being in even more debt than expected is worried about how little people can afford to shop! Hooray!" 
How about these disgusting pigs go take it up with other gluttonous pigs to spend money? They’re the ones that have it. Go bother them. You pigs volunteered to be ones who will ever so nobly do all the consumer spending to prop up the economy for us, and have all the fun on our behalf, right?
You pigs ate up all the poor’s resources. Go bother other spoiled pigs when you want more more more! God you worthless pigs disgust me. All the luck in the world and its wasted on spoiled brats who someone think they STILL don’t have enough.
“Ungrateful poors aren’t frivolously spending… Wow, I guess being able to put a cheeseburger on layaway isn’t enough for them…”
