Rent to Own - They Own YOU!

I did a little research about the rent to own business. Today there was a special featured on the sales page of  Colortyme for a 42″ HDTV as low as $29.99 per week for 117 weeks. Alright can you do the math? The funny part is they actually do the math for you on the same sale page and people still do this stuff!!!

If you don’t want to break out the calculator when you finish paying for the TV you will have paid a total of $3508.83. I’m going to guess since the advertisement says “as low as $29.99 per week” that it’s not going to be a top name brand television.

I did some more research at TigerDirect.comand found a 42″ Akai, Vizio, and Sceptre brand Plasma TV’s for $899.97. So if you really want that 42″ HD TV then maybe you should save up your $30 per week for 30 weeks and own then thing and save yourself about $2,600!!!
