Crystalizing some principles: -
Buying some perfume online.@futurebird I hate debt with a passion and have successfully avoided it, outside the normal big ticket items like cars.
Growing up my parents got trapped in debt. The airforce base closed where we lived and we had to move for unrelated reasons. The local housing market tanked and the house would not sell, and rents collapsed too. They racked up debt while covering 2 mortgages until the house finally sold.
At the time to me as a teen the debt was an impossibly high number, and it scared me.
We live waaaaay under our means so we can afford a school for dyslexia my kid. College may be cheaper if they go to a state school. But we are doing it without debt, and that is what matters.
