[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD moved to Fl at 18 and thought it was a good idea to finance her furniture to save money.

I flipped.

She missed 1 payment and the price quadrupled. I had to pay $2k in furniture that should cost less than $500.[/quote]

Out of morbid curiosity - why did YOU have to pay for this?[/quote]

This is how her birth parents bought all of their furniture, computers, and TV's  so she thought this was how everyone bought furniture. It was a late adoption, and I couldn't teach everything before she left.

Not trying to be a jerk - but why did YOU have to pay that? Why didn't you make her pay it? What are you teaching her by paying it?[/quote]

Because it was predatory lending, they quadrupled the monthly cost after one missed payment. This made it unaffordable for her, I'd much rather her come to me when she falls for these kinds of traps. She's 18 fresh out of high school(during a pandemic), how do I expect her to pay for it? (She covered her own rent herself at 18, so adding another $200 would break her. I do want her to eat.)
