Borrow Money for Megos

[glimpy]

Has anybody ever had to borrow money to buy a certain piece that you just had to have? As we all know collecting can be very expensive!! And sometimes we may not have the cash when a certain item we want pops up. At that time, we might need to borrow. It's happened to me! how about you?

If putting it on a credit card counts

[glimpy]

Oh yeah!! That counts

[Nostalgiabuff]

well in this day and age, it pretty much all goes on credit cards, since it is online purchases. but I always pay my card balance when it comes in, so no, I have never borrowed money to collect

[Hector]

Nope.

I only use my debit MasterCard bank account (purchases are immediately withdrawn from my checking account).

I shredded up my last credit card 15 years ago.

I love being debt free.

Borrow money for megos? heck no, all you have to do is, go into the store and grab which mego you want, then quietly tear off the area where the barcode is, then put it quickly in the bag you brought with you or just simply shove it down your pants.

Or if you don't want the card, just open one corner of the bubble and slip the figure out, then inconspicuously slip it down
your draws. With hours of practice, you can become a pro.

No way.(I probably have... )

Believe it or not my sister did that at zody's with Dorothy and the wicked witch back in 1976

Not if you pay balance in full monthly, it is the same as cash - but better with more security and rewards.

I would NEVER recommend anyone borrow large* amounts of money to buy toys - even if you think they may be worth cash later (most won't).

Personally I won't borrow ANY money to buy them. But I understand it is a personal choice.

If you want to relive your childhood through these, act like a child - wait for your birthday, Christmas, or to earn the money. Part of what mde our toys special is that you couldn't get everything. There was some prioritizing and waiting.

*Large amounts of borrowing is a relative term to each person's personal finances and circumstances.

[Makernaut]

Not something I would do, but I agree with what Brue has said about it being a personal choice. Just because I wouldn't do it doesn't mean I would think it odd that someone else would.

[glimpy]

Well said brue
