Zero Down Scams

We should all beware when a company tells us we can pay zero down and get interest free financing for 90 days. First off, we should stop right there and ask how a company would be able to make it in this tough economy if they did not charge any interest.

This is happening everywhere and sad to say that a lot of people are falling for it and not even realizing what a horrible deal they are making.

How important is personal finance to you? Personal finance can say a lot about the type of person we are.

When our cars start to show a little bit of wear we just run off to the dealer and sign over another $30,000 for a new car. Car payments are just a way of life right? Wrong.
