Except that financing is the very instrument that
makes an item affordable when a person does not have enough cash on hand to buy it immediately. Again, if I cannot buy something today due to having insufficient funds, then it is not affordable: I literally cannot afford to make the purchase. However, if financing, allows me to make the purchase today, then financing made that item affordable: I was able to afford the purchase
only through
financing.
Once again, you put words in my mouth by asserting that I claimed financing made things cheaper, when I never actually said so. But hey, nice strawman.
