Yes I know Do Boy, you have a great job, company car and company gas card....If your hesistant to spend $80 on a toy for your collection than maybe its just not that worthwhile.



Im not implying that anyone is poor or anything like that but IMO, if you have to put a toy on layaway then you probably shouldnt buy it. Layaway is good for items that are of high cost (appliances, furniture) and can be hard to obtain or sell quickly but for a piece of plastic as do boy puts it, I dont think it makes any sense.

This Walmart layaway is only for the holidays anyway, 10/17-12/16, and how many of us here will actually benefit from buying something from walmart thats more than $15 and totals to $50 that we'd have to buy from Walmart and couldnt buy outright?

Omega. I think the point some people are trying to make is that you could possibly have 1million dollars after paying off all your bills but still only allow yourself 100$ toy fund per week. Giving the rest to your kids/wife/parents/girlfriend or whatever have you.
