Reminds me of Murabaha, aka Islamic Finance. The bank purchases an asset and sells it to the client at a markup, paid in installments, but it's definitely not a loan. Because that would be forbidden.
At CS our Emerging Markets Fixed income desk had a Murabaha trading book.

She's actually a real estate agent who uses that neighborhood facebook page for lots of her networking and advertising. I guess her clients are told the story of the easy no-loan pool that you pay for over time, but definitely without a loan.

She's not the same person that had those fake massive hooters and got into a big redneck-style argument over something or other I can't remember, is she?

Oh, so not in a career that needs to understand the nature of lenders, collateral, and payments. Got it.

I guess she mostly understands stories she can tell to convince people to sign contracts that tie them to things such as lenders, collateral, and payments. But those things are nuisances to her stories, and she probably doesn't talk or think about them much.

Reminds me of Murabaha, aka Islamic Finance. The bank purchases an asset and sells it to the client at a markup, paid in installments, but it's definitely not a loan. Because that would be forbidden.
At CS our Emerging Markets Fixed income desk had a Murabaha trading book.

My chase credit card has a "pay over time" program available for every purchase over $100. There's no "loan", or "interest", but the payments add up to more than the original price, because of "fees". Those fees are 5.5%, if paid off over a year.
Education is extremely important.

At least they can use them most of the year. What I don’t get is people who put them in up here.

An expensive three weeks for sure.

Yeah, we have pretty hefty credit card bills because pretty much everything goes on them, so they're always offering these options to us.
No thanks. If you can't pay it off at the end of the month you can't afford it.

When we were moving up here 12 years ago, the realtor showed me a house with a pool. I said I wasn’t interested because I had to pay for it three times. Once in the purchase price, once to get it filled in, and again with higher taxes that come with the pool.
