Interestingly, the buy now pay later mentality is back

“Consumers “utilized layaways to a much greater extent than last year, deferring recognition of those sales until December,” said CEO Bruce A. Efird.”

I have less issue with layaway then just easy credit purchases. With Layaway the item stays in the store till it’s paid off…

Unless they’ve changed things.

I remember as a teenager, (back when dinasaurs roamed the earth), I put a pair of jeans on lay away – then brought in my baby sitting earnings each week to pay it off. After 3 weeks, I’d paid off my new jeans and got to take them home.

When credit cards started being given to anyone with a pulse, layaway disappeared… but now that credit is tighter (as it should be)… layaway is back. At least people have to pay to get the goods.

I guess I am just a weirdo, but I really dont understand lay-away. Just save your $, and when you have enough, buy what you need. I guess if we had high inflation and it locked in your prices it would be a good idea, or if we had really scarce resource/item and it kept it available to you; I could kinda understand that. But why let the store hold onto your money, and merchandise, for you? It isnt like we have inflation or scareity right now.
