I had an old roommate whose little brother got a TV and XBox from one of those rent-to-own places. We were trying to explain to him that he was going to end up spending like $1500 for some shit that he could have just waited 2-3 months and bought outright for $600.
Thankfully he was a working dude but that sort of thing can set you back in a major way.
