0:00.0 | So more than ever, I feel like I've seen people really be tempted by zero percent interest |
0:10.4 | loans. And honestly, I get why this is an appealing option, but there are multiple financial |
0:16.3 | offers out there in the world that are too good to be true. So today, we're going to talk about |
0:19.7 | five of the most common that I see and steer you in a better direction than these because they're not great. |
0:26.5 | But first, make sure to subscribe to the channel, share this episode with a friend. All right, |
0:30.7 | number one, the first financial offer that is too good to be true is zero percent interest loans. |
0:35.3 | So zero percent, yes, I get is very intriguing, but that does not |
0:38.8 | mean that it is free. You're still paying full price for something over the long term. And in fact, |
0:45.0 | it ends up sometimes being a worse offer because of the stipulations and how strict the |
0:52.0 | repayment options are. So a lot of people get into it because they're like, oh, well, if it ever had interest, |

1:11.0 | from when the loan began. They will take your loan, sometimes up the payment in general, what you have |
1:16.6 | to pay for. Some even say, okay, now you owe all of this within 30 days. It is terrible. It puts you in |
1:22.7 | a really bad system that, again, on the front end seems great, but for a lot of people, it ends up, |
1:28.6 | they get screwed in the process and it's not good. So I'm not a fan of loans in general, |
1:32.6 | but especially with the 0%, it's, again, very enticing, but when you look into the fine print, |
1:37.6 | not good. Number two is buy now, pay later. So this is just another way to take on debts, |
1:42.8 | and merchandisers know this and they know how |
1:45.7 | much money you end up spending more when you use buy now, pay later because you go in to buy, |
