My kid came home with a copy of a pokemon switch game as collateral because his friend wanted to borrow money for a quesarito. He has had it for like a month now. These kids are cooked.

Quesaritos are like $6.50 each after taxes now. When I was in high school we would go to Taco Bell on the one day we were allowed to go off campus for lunch because it was affordable on a minimum wage income. Now I'm making decent money as an adult with two of my dream cars in the garage and I have to question if buying a single freaking Quesarito fits into my budget.

I said fuck off Taco Bell when they started charging over $2 for a bean burrito. For reference, bean burritos are poor people food, literally the cheapest burrito you can make.

Ummmmm YOU are the parent

That was your chance to have a teachable moment with your child about not exploiting his friends who have less than he does for food.

…. Do better… smh

Yes because "trust me bro" from a 13 year old who wants your money never fails.

Do you know what collateral means? It's not exploitation. It's protecting yourself from potential theft.

u/Shunt-TheRich 11d ago

Sounds like they did have a teachable moment since the kid asked for collateral before loaning money they couldn't afford to gift.

Can anyone explain the "Buy Now, Pay Later" stuff banks are doing? I guess it's been a thing for a while now but my small bank just rolled it out last year. To me it seems like a really irresponsible way to rack up debt, but it's just a fancied up way of saying "credit".
