Thursday, August 23, 2012 – Daily News 3A Buy now, and pay big later home larger than our previous one. I've been furniture shopping and found a couch that is perfect for our living room, but it's a bit out of our price range. The department store has a "pay nothing until February 2013" offer, so I'm tempted to charge it and save over the next six months. Dear Mary: We bought a new My mom says this is a bad idea, that stores lure you in with these offers knowing that you won't be able to pay when it's time. Is she right? I know I can pay it off by the due date, but should I give up my dream couch? -- Deb, Alabama Dear Deb: I know how tempting it can be to buy now and pay later. Oh, boy, do I know! To me, it always felt like I was pulling a fast one or getting something for free. But these "pay nothing" kind of offers can be risky. First, you need excellent credit to qualify. If you are approved and then something happens where you can't pay it off by February 2013, you're stuck. The balance will auto- matically convert into big pay- ments, and at the highest interest rate allowed in your state. And the interest will be retroactive to the day you signed the agreement. That couch will be old and tattered by Register now to reserve a table for the annual Triv- ia Night fundraiser for Alternatives to Violence. Trivia Night is sched- uled for Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Elks Lodge, 355 Gilmore Road in Red Bluff. Proceeds will benefit survivors of domestic vio- the time you finally pay it off. Better idea: Take a picture of the couch, and post it on the 'fridge. Starting right now, put money into a New Couch account every week. In six months, take that photo along with your cash and go shopping. I'll wager you'll find your dream couch, and you'll feel so much better knowing that you saved first and spent later. Dear Mary: Our money into a Bella Account. Call to learn your vet's policy regarding emergency services like hours, fees and discounts for cash payments. beloved dog, Bella, is getting older, and we're concerned about safe- guarding her health. She recently had surgery that cost us $3,000. While the vet assures us she's fine now, we want to make sure we don't get hit with another huge bill. Of course we'll do everything we can to keep Bella healthy, but we simply can't afford thousands of dollars' worth of med- ical expenses. What can we do? -- Pat, email Dear Pat: Plan ahead, stashing lence and their children, with 100 percent of funds staying in Tehama Coun- ty. Find out what constitutes a true emergency and what can wait until the office opens. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Look into alternatives such as the humane society or university vet clinics that offer thriftier alternatives for shots and routine care. For Bella's wellness checks, keep an eye out for reduced veteri- nary-service clinics spon- sored by government agen- cies or pet stores. Should Bella face anoth- er serious situation, I hope you will have time to get a second opinion. You might want to look into pet health insurance, but keep in mind that most policies exclude pre-existing conditions. And they have high deductibles and co-pays, too. I wish you many more wonderful years with Bella! Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2099, Cypress, CA 90630.
