Just an observation I've made. OT: Anyone that decides to get this deal, knows or will know exactly what they're getting into. Folks are not going to walk into Best Buy, buy an X360 at $99, and not knowingly be charged later on. Same way you walk into a cell phone store, and set up a plan. |
because they spend most of the time at home because they have no money to go out. i wouldn't say they have more expensive electronics than people with better income but yeah, they often have big tv's and so on (but the less epensive models than people with more money). with the money they couldn't really do much outside, sure some k for electronics sounds a lot but what can you do with that in some years outside? (not to forget that without a big tv they would still buy a tv, just a smaller one). go few times in a restaurant, make a week holiday anywhere, go to the zoo and drive around with your car some km and the money is spent and they have to sit the rest of the time at home without big tv and ps3 because with the same money they can buy that electronics stuff and use this 10 hours a day.
that's my theory why they buy those things. not great for their kids but yeah...
