Buying on Credit

I meant to blog this on February 26 when it happened, but time got the best of me.

That's the day Judah made his first credit purchase, calling it a "Forward Trade." He wanted his friend's toy, so he agreed to trade him a toy he didn't actually own in order to obtain it. Then when he got home, he tried to convince me to buy the toy for him so he'd be able to keep the one he wanted. Slick dude.

But like most consumer credit, what looked too good be true did in fact catch up to him. The next day his friend's mom repossessed the toy Judah wanted so badly.

P.S.
The picture has nothing to do with the story, except that it shows Judah posting up a defender in a recent basketball game.
