Yalor people like me really got not much motivation now, anyway too long story to explain, or shu shu here will whack me again for OT. Watch purists just cant tahan when people tok or grumble about life here.

Hmm if need to buy a JLC, i need to first raise my credit card limit first, then think of how to slowly pay for it. Minimum payment is $55 monthly mah right? The balance just pay interest lor. Still can hoot JLC what.. nowadays who have so much spare cash on hands? Most of us also living on credit. Be it houses, cars, study loans, etc.

You say enjoy life without debts? How to enjoy when i dont have JLC while others can hoot one every year?

i do the same thing as yattokame korkor. i buy oni when i have the actual cash around, but yet i wont splash it on a watch when i can pay by installment 0% interest. instead i use the actual cash to invest elsewhere while buy the watch on installment.

some ppl have issues with paying by installment as they scare they cannot track their expenses. some is ego problem (i seen it among some of my frens, they think they more satki when pay in 1 lump sum. then so be it loh)for me i no such issue, plus i oni spend what i can afford. so no issue for me at all.

up to you to digress what i have said. just make sure u dun get in debt with buying watches. it is silly to be dorning a JLC or rolex but have 0 balance in yr bank acct. wat for?

Good job!!!

it's okay to buy on instalment, as long as you have the cash to pay it off if necessary, i usually buy electrical appliances on instalment as well, i mean why not? 0% leh, might as well make use of my cards..

some of them is ego problem. some of them is think they dun own the product until they fully paid for it.

to me most impt is u are not borrowing any money and paying silly interest then it shd be fine.

which JLC model u looking at?

 

[bbbbbw]

I doubt if u buy a watch on 0% installment, the discount will be gd.
Usually pay full cash gets a better deal

no need in debt mah, or 0 balance in bank acct if pay in 36 instalments. As long as i got a job, i pay $700 a month from my monthly salary. Never touched my existing bank $ mah. Right?
